| At The Shed in the fall, with Ralph Fiennes, who has a lot of fun playing Moses, and Helen Schlesinger who makes a commanding impact in the somewhat ancillary role of Jane Jacobs. The play isn’t totally successful as a story, but quite enjoyable if you care about Moses and urban planning. | |

| I was hoping to actually see a performance, not a film. | |

| You can include me in the “we” hoping for NT Live broadcasts. Sure, I’d love major British shows to come to Broadway. But there’s no way I can see them in LA. NT Live and NT At Home have been invaluable to me. Laura in 105 degrees LA |

| From what I've seen he looks to be inhabiting the same world as Lambert LeRoux from Pravda, which he did an excerpt from in the NT 50th Anniversary Gala (a role Anthony Hopkins originated). I've seen him as Oedipus and Antony and he really is a creature of the stage, as great as his film work has been: he's not afraid to go big and it's very enjoyable to watch. | |

| He could part the Grand Concourse? How was the staging? Visuals for a show with this subject matter could be a huge plus! |

| It's hard for me to not to imagine Fiennes having fun doing ''Moses Supposes'' from ''Singin' in the Rain.'' | |

| It’s a fairly spare staging. There are various architectural models that fill the stage for both acts, but they’re mostly set dressing and, at least at The Bridge, everything was played well downstage. There is a nice gesture in Act 2 involving a large map of New York that helps tell the story. | |
