Jordan Catalano said: "Is this the play that was rumored to have Julia Roberts return to the stage?"



Yes. Question for those who know the play: what role would Julia most likely play?

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I believe there was a recent audition notice posted, too.


A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

She's already done the big, splashy, star-revival Broadway thing. Maybe she's looking for something different this time around. It also means the focus won't be entirely on her.

I can think of dozens of reasons not to work with him but is there some evidence that he is anti-feminist? (Except that he has been anti-human, and women are the largest component of humans in the Western world).

Unfortunately in this economy, anyone with money is hard to ignore. If only we had more millionaires that wanted to produce Broadway shows. At least Rudin usually produces female centered stories (as a gay man if I had his money, I would do the same)

Larry Ellison’s daughter? Tell her to clean her own house first.

I believe I asked if there was any evidence of his being anti-feminist (aka sexist). Calling out someone by simply using the word sexist (or racist) is not evidence of anything. What we do know is that he has long associations with lots of strong women including one of the strongest and most politically and industry active, Midler. Yes, he was abusive. But you have not established that he is sexist. If you have other facts, I am happy to learn about it, but not if it is just name-calling which can, you may not realize, be considered abusive itself.
