Posted: 8/22/08 at 1:08pmYES. Kennedy Center! I'm really liking this trend of shows going to DC before New York...

Oh, I totally missed the '09 part.
Definitely will be there though.
Is the whole cast transferring or just her?

Y'know, I had some pretty interesting visuals of Tracey Ullman as Blanche before I opened this thread.

I have a very serious love-hate relationship with these ads.

Posted: 8/22/08 at 7:37pmLooking forward to seeing this in Sydney next year, if you can make it to Sydney in Jan 09, you can also see Cate in "The War of The Roses" all nine hours of it.

This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Posted: 8/22/08 at 9:45pmIf Blanchett is Blanche, I'm digging the idea of Tracey Ullman as STANLEY!
#15re: Ullman STREETCAR with Blanchett to play BAM
Posted: 8/22/08 at 10:01pmThere was a story going round that Phillip Seymour Hoffman might be in this cast as well...Since it has been many years since the last time i saw a production of this, would he be fine as Stanley?

Posted: 8/22/08 at 11:24pmPSH has Stanley? As Mitch, perhaps. The role originally played by Karl Malden.

Posted: 8/23/08 at 1:18pmThat's what they said about John C. Reilly.

I'm hoping for Aden Young- was alongside Blanchett in "Hedda Gabler".
Wouldn't Hoffman be too old for Stanley?

Posted: 9/1/08 at 10:38pmI'm sorry stnaley has to be a very sexual, and intense man. It does not work with character actors like Reilly or PSH. The sexual energy and characters don't play well if the guy does not have that appeal. John C. is a great actor but it was a huge part of why the revival was flawed.
