It’s been a quiet couple of months in my tiny theatre world. I hope wherever you are, the boards are creaking! Alas, I have had to content myself with reviewing my past visits to NYC and dreaming about what Autumn 2014 will bring! Playbill is the site to visit if you want to plan a Theatre Weekend yourself.

What am I looking forward to?

It’s Only a Play by Terrence McNally starring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick.

Lane and Broderick on stage together. Nothing could be better!

Such a cute couple!

Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon (novel) and Simon Stephens (adaptation).

A popular novel turned into a popular London play. Glad to see this coming to NYC!

Love Letters by A.R. Gurney

With a rotating cast that includes: Brian Dennehy, Mia Farrow, Carol Burnett, Brian Dennehy, Alan Alda, Candice Bergen, Stacy Keach, Diana Rigg, Anjelica Huston, Martin Sheen. On any given performance, this can only be fantastic.

The Real Thing by Tom Stoppard

With Ewan McGregor, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Cynthia Nixon, Josh Hamilton.

Great cast! Great play! Goes great together!

A Delicate Balance by Edward Albee

With Glenn Close, John Lithgow, Martha Plimpton, Bob Balaban, Clare Higgins, Lindsay Duncan.

The River by Jez Butterworth

Cast: Hugh Jackman, Laura Donnelly, Cush Jumbo

This is a new play but I probably won’t be trying to see this one, because Who wants to see Hugh Jackman on stage? Probably EVERYONE. Get your tickets fast!

One of these men probably won’t be naked… the other definitely will be naked

The Elephant Man by Bernard Pomerance

With Bradley Cooper, Patricia Clarkson, Alessandro Nivola

I honestly don’t really know who Bradley Cooper is… people have mentioned various movies to me like The Hangover and something else, but I don’t watch movies like that. However, this is an amazing play and Cooper had been in productions of this play since 2011. On to Broadway!
