Unless they're radically re-interpreting it, Brooke Adams does all the heavy lifting in the show.

Really, listing him first is *incredibly* misleading.

I saw this production in Los Angeles last year. Ms. Adams is no Fiona Shaw; although she is a valiant and diligent worker, she really lacks the unique depth for this. I don't know if she's done it elsewhere, but great reviews for a "star" doing theater in L.A. might not necessarily mean success in New York. Mr. Shalhoub (who is her husband) does indeed do very little lifting but what he does do (and it is a scant few minutes) is solid. But don't see the play for him! I cannot imagine paying $75 for this, let alone $150. Not that I want to discourage theater-going but good luck to them!

Those $15 tickets sound good!

Good point. Though I still think it'll be interesting to see them in this. At the lower price level, of course.
