Ben Wishaw, Andrea Riseborough and Hugh Dancy are in MCC's production of The Pride. It is a great great play and worth checking out - and that cast is very good.

So we were all wrong about "God of Carnage." Lahti, Smits, Potts and Stitt wrap up their run on February 28th and are being replaced by Lucy Liu (!), Janet McTeer, Dylan Baker and Jeff Daniels (who is switching roles).

What is this business with Bernie Peters and Stritchy replacing the leads in "A Little Night Music"? Playbill.com doesn't usually publish gossip so this must be a rumor from a really good source!

James Earl Jones and Vanessa Redgrave will star in the revival of "Driving Miss Daisy."
