It looks like a fairly busy fall theater season in New York, but the pickings look much slimmer this fall in Los Angeles. Nevertheless, and in no particular order, here are the upcoming shows in both cities that I am most looking forward to seeing, or at least about which I am very curious:
NY/ Broadway
Pitman Painters (transfer from London)
Scottsboro Boys (transfer from off-Broadway)
Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
Merchant of Venice (transfer from Public's Shakespeare in the Park)
Free Man of Color
Elling
NY/ Off-Broadway
Gatz (@Public Theater)
Angels In America (@Signature Theater)
Middletown (@Vineyard)
LA area
Leap of Faith (@ Ahmanson)
Merry Wives of Windsor (@Broad Stage from Globe in London)
Becky Shaw (@South Coast Rep)
Time will tell whether expectations match reality as to the above shows. Watch this space for the results throughout the fall.
