| It seems, to me, a little tone-deaf for a white male producer to announce a revival by a white male playwright, with a white male director and a while male star, amidst pleas and calls from the theatre community (and the world) to make Broadway a more equitable industry? (I say this as a white male.) I know Scott Rudin doesn’t give a rat’s fat behind what people think, but it seems like he might have been better served by sitting on this news for a little while longer. |

| Or "C***sucker in Chains", lol. Honestly, though, I'd love to see Rudin use his commercial winnings to lose money on "A Strange Loop" on Broadway the way he does with Sam Gold's revivals or a play like "Gary". |

| If GARY had been produced at, say, the Public, it would've sold out its run, gotten the same mixed-to favorable reviews and it would've become an impossible-to-get-tickets-to event. Not a Broadway "flop". What a difference a venue makes... |

| What happened to artistic control? I am so tired of complaints about the lack of diversity in the theater. The lack of diversity is in the audience. Often there are more black actors on stage than in the audience and that is the shame that the Broadway League should be concerned with. | |

| Audiences tend to be predominately white when the work on stage tends to be predominately white, the production has not made efforts to engage with non-white communities, and ticket prices are too damn high. The "artistic control" you prize goes hand in hand with lack of diversity on stage and in the audience. That said, Rudin's brand is White People Theater (Highbrow and/or Populist), so I wouldn't look to him to bring in diverse production teams or even cast Black, Latinx, and other BIPOC artists in prominent roles in his musicals. So I wouldn't look to him to provide a path forward, and I can imagine a lot of people right now (predominately white) could use a nice piece of Nostalgia Pie, which "Our Town" delivers (though I think it's a much darker and cynical play than tends to be acknowledged). |

| I think it's pretty widely recognized nowadays that Our Town is not a nostalgic valentine but is a rather dark and despairing play. I wouldn't call it cynical myself, but certainly dark and upsetting. Even when I first read it, at 10 or 12 or so, I felt that way about it, and I never understood why people described it as sentimental or affirmative, but I've seen that less and less over the last 30-35 years. | |

| P.S. There are more Hispanics in the United States than Blacks so why don't they get their fair share of roles? Maybe because they don't protest all the time. Audra McDonald who is great received 6 Tony awards so I think the lady doth protest too much. Casting should be open to everyone and I do believe that the theatre recently has been more open than any other part of society. So let's work on equality on the street and in American society and let the creative forces work it out themselves. | |

| It is a bit disappointing that this play, which lend itself so beautifully to cross gender, racial, and age casting, will have yet another middle aged-to-elderly white guy in the lead. Has there ever been a major production in New York that didn't cast an old white guy as the Stage Manager? Maybe the rest of the casting will be a bit more adventurous. |

| ... rather than choosing the play and then rather "traditionally" casting Mr. Hoffman, this might be a case of Dustin Hoffman calling up his agent or Rudin or whomever and saying, "I want to return to Broadway; find me a vehicle." I also wonder if this might not be a reflection of something else that has been discussed here during quarantine: producers looking for the theatrical equivalent of "comfort food" to entice audiences back next year. Because who's been crying out for a new Our Town? |

| It was nice seeing him as he hadn't done Broadway for many years and was a rarity; he was professional and all, but I don't remember too much about the production. I guess it didn't make that much of an impression on me, nor on many others, since no one else has brought it up. There was also one with Don Ameche, which I didn't see, but apparently he was having difficulty with his lines and had to be replaced, though I don't recall by whom. | |

| The production with Newman was a very mixed bag. But it was the first time I'd seen Our Town onstage, although I had first read it when I was 10 or so and had always loved it. Anyway, even though it was a hot ticket and it was sold out, somehow there was an empty seat next to me, even though I had lucked into a fourth- or fifth-row center seat when a friend had an extra ticket for the performance he was attending. I was glad that the seat to my left was empty because I cried so much during the last act that I was afraid I would have disturbed anyone sitting to my left. I was really having to restrain myself from sobbing to a degree that might have been audible to others beyond the friend on my right. I think I succeeded but it was tough. | |

| Don Ameche replaced Spalding Gray in the Lincoln Center production in the 88-89 season. I've never heard he struggled with lines, although he was 81. According to IBDB he replaced on March 21 and the show closed April 2 | |

|
| At least two critics reviewed Ameche in the Times and both said that he was struggling with the lines. Howard Kissel saw his first performance, and Mel Gussow saw him at the Saturday matinee that week. Gussow seemed more bothered by Ameche's struggle with the lines than Kissel, suggesting that perhaps he did not get better (or possibly even got worse) during the week. Also, I have a friend who has long worked at Lincoln Center. He was working there even back then, and I believe he told me that Ameche just could not learn the lines with any degree of security, and that the problem wasn't really getting better. | |

| It was grating. Maybe if the young actress was charismatic or a good actress it might of worked...but it came off as a an annoying gimmick. And I have a vague memory of the ensemble sitting in a circle and snapping their fingers to indicate....rain? The whole vibe of that production was look, we don't like this play but we're doing it anyway. It was so long ago but just writing about stokes the anger I experienced watching it. |

| Thanks, kieran, for posting about this. I didn't see that production, but I read about it at the time. I couldn't remember which company had produced it. it sounded like something I should see. Maybe it just didn't run long enough for me to get around to it. | |

| In David Cromer's production, Helen Hunt, then 47, was a replacement Stage Manager. Middle-aged but not a guy. I'm not sure what you consider middle-aged. Michael Shannon, then 35, was another replacement. Jason Butler Harner, then 38, and Stephen Kunken, also probably 38, were other replacements. I can't find a date of birth for Scott Parkinson, another replacement, but I'm guessing he was under 40. The other Stage Managers were over 40. In José Quintero's production at Circle in the Square in 1959, Richard Dysart, then 30, replaced John Beal as the Stage Manager. |

| Although that's funny, JereNYC did write, "It is a bit disappointing that this play, which lend itself so beautifully to cross gender, racial, and age casting, will have yet another middle aged-to-elderly white guy in the lead. Has there ever been a major production in New York that didn't cast an old white guy as the Stage Manager?" There have also been middle-aged Stage Managers, such as Cromer and Spalding Gray. in major New York productions. It's true that there haven't been any people of color in the role in major New York productions. |

| Given all the famous people who've gone down over the last few years for bad behavior, Hoffman included, how the hell has Scott Rudin managed to escape unscathed? This is a guy who's famous for throwing people out of cabs on highways and tossing phones at people's heads. As talented a producer as he is, he shouldn't be allowed to get away with this shit anymore. I hope that he's brought down. | |

| I don't know anything about Rudin, other than that he does have the reputation of being difficult/challenging/demanding/whatever to work with or for. But, every so often, his office posts an advertisement for an office assistant that, if you read between the lines, makes it seem like working there is hell on earth. The fact that a nearly identical advertisement seems to pop up every couple of months also isn't a great indicator that this is a wonderful place to work. | |

| As the controversy in West Side Story demonstrated, Scott Rudin doesn't believe in "canceling". I'm personally glad he doesn't. You or I may see it without a star, but you know that most people will not pay Broadway prices for a revival of an old play without a star. |

| I'm so with you on that point. Even a six month run in a new script would give a play event status. Even Midler went out on a limb of sorts in Logan's piece on Sue Mengers (which is never mentioned in discussions of her Dolly phenom). No, Logan is far from an unkown, but it was synergy of star and material that had no built-in audience. | |

| I loved the Cromer, and saw it quite late with Michael Shannon, a performance devoid of sentimentality, even a bit menacing. But I can't say that I've ever seen a production that didn't work. Even in a middle school, the stage manager role divided among seven girls who played it as a small town knitting circle, telling the story (not approved by the estate, but damned if it didn't work beautifully). | |

| I agree with your assertions about the Cromer production. It was a revelation about a play I had known and loved and THOUGHT I knew. It was one of the highlights of my theater-going life, and as much as I admire Sher's work (South Pacific especially), I can't imagine how that experience could be topped. | |
