In tone and wit, it always reminded me of the best parts of "The Gingerbread Lady," and the sequence in the film version is probably one of the best acted pieces of Simon available for viewing (well, Caine and Smith, I'm stating the obvious). I can see these two pulling that off. In anything, having a California sequence would mix up the evening. SJP could tackle the Smith role -- an actor famous for a glamorous part playing an actor -- and not be stuck playing the early Simon hausfrau all night.
Really, that's a significant problem with the thee initial NYC plays: the female characters are all harried wife-mothers with narrow concerns of another era long finished off by sitcoms. If she played the star Diana, the gendered world would be varied. |
