PRIVATE LIVES revival on Broadway!
I love and hate when I come across my favorite shows being put up on Broadway. It tickles me to see pics of the production, and pains me to know I can't go see it. One day New York, I know I will be engrossed in your theater world. But for know I can only share with you my findings and keep us all in the loop of what creations come. Which leads us to one of my all time favorites, Private Lives by Noel Coward. I have been dreaming of the day I get to do this show with a competent director. I did a scene from this, playing
Sybil, when I was at the Academy and loved the comedy of manners style and charm of 1930. Coward's understanding of human emotions allows this tale to never tire.
This Broadway revival boast leading lady Kim Cattrall (fellow AADA alumni) and Paul Gross as Amanda and her ex-husband, Elyot. Both honeymooning in the South of France with new spouses, find themselves sharing adjoining hotel balconies, where they begin to rekindle old feelings.
Directed by Sir Richard Eyre, best known for directing amazing films like Notes on a Scandal, Stage Beauty and Iris which he also wrote, as well as numerous classics stage productions throughout London. This revival started it's run in London's Vaudeville Theatre in 2010 with Kim continuing the role in Toronto and now on Broadway.
Opening November 17 at the Music Box Theatre, with Simon Paisley Day as Victor and Anna Madeley as Sybil.
