#25re: America will get to know The Witches of Eastwick!
Posted: 10/31/06 at 8:48pmOriginal rumors were that Marc K. might play Daryl in this production, but now with Apple Tree, I don't know the likelihood of that. I would love to see Emily Skinner or Alice Ripley take on one of the witches.
...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

I saw it in London, and I'm hoping it gets a big Broadway production
so I can dress Lucie.
She promised.

Posted: 10/31/06 at 9:17pmI only have heard the recording and wasn't a huge fan but if Maria Friedman would come back here and perform in the US I would definitely see it. She is just amazing!

Posted: 11/1/06 at 8:04pmI have a ticket for the show and will probably enjoy it no matter who is in it because I love the score. But, as a big Emily Skinner fan, I would love to see her in one of the witches roles. She would sing the hell out of this score.

Posted: 11/1/06 at 8:28pmOh I totally agree. I think she'd be a great Sukie or Alex. I still need to buy my tickets. What is this theatre like? I saw that it is general admission, so how does it work out for a theatre of this size?

Posted: 11/2/06 at 1:47pmThe new theater does not open until January. It will be a 299-seat black box theater. If the old theater is any indication, there will be no bad seats in the house.

Posted: 11/2/06 at 3:43pmI HATE the Glory of Me... It ruined the show. I would love to see it re-staged with a fuller set - more like the film!!!

Yup, I see Emily Skinner in the Sukie role.
As far as the Signature Theatre, I have not been in the new space (obviously), but since it is only a small theatre, I don't think there are any bad seats. Its general admission, and if the policy is the same as the old space, the people without subscription tickets simply sit in whatever seats that are not reserved.

Saw it in London & enjoyed it immensely
It is hard to imagine Ian Mac Shane who played the devil wonderfully went on to become Al Swearengen in Deadwood

Posted: 11/4/06 at 3:32pmOh yes Emily Skinner would rock the show. I can also see Ruthie Henshall as one of the witches. I think she even did the workshop of "Witches", but I'm not sure about that.
All the best performers bring to their role something more, something different than what the author put on paper. That's what makes theatre live. That's why it persists.
