What Is Wrong With This Picture, Girls?????????????????


                                The latest revival of "The Cherry Orchard" began performing last night.  Here is a cast photo taken for Playbill, but something is distinctly wrong.  Can anyone tell me what it is??????????

                                  Where is Celia Keenan-Bolger?????????  Why is she not in this shot; in fact, she should be front and center.  Forget Diane; if she is going to play the whole thing like a Grace Kelly wannabe, well that just shows she is not ready to face the classics,  We've loved you since "Runaways," Di, but get with the program!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                     Celia is playing the heart rending role of Varya.   Everyone--and I am telling you, darlings, everyone!!!!!!!!!!--and I mean, everyone!!!!!!!!!!!--is going to see her, as she is this production's drawing card.  I am telling you, right now, if she wasn't in it, I would not be a bit interested!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                     So, why was Celia left out of the shot?  Is there some backstage bitchery going on between she and Di??????????  Di knows Celia will upstage her every time--her technical brilliance makes that inevitable--so is she pulling some kind of Diana Ross on poor Celia????????????

                                     Those of us who are in Celia's corner demand another shot, featuring the extraordinary Miss Keenan-Bolger!!!!!!!!!!!   You better watch it, Diane, because all eyes will be on Celia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      Let's see who has the last laugh, when Celia finally gets her TONY Award!!!!!!!!!!!!
