And it is about time, too. By the time her vehicle opens it will have been six years since "To Kill A Mockingbird." That is far too long for all of us Celia fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The play is called "Mother Play," by someone I happen to know, Paula Vogel. Set near Washington D.C. in 1962, this sounds like it could be Vogel's "Glass Menagerie," which could earn Celia another TONY nomination, and win for her the TONY she should have won for playing Laura ten years ago. Has it really been ten years, darlings?????????? Yes, it has!
The matriarch in the play is Jessica Lange, who did "The Glass Menagerie" with Sarah Paulson eighteen years ago. The son, Charles, will be played by Jim Parsons, while Celia will play daughter Martha.
Those of us who are Celia fans simply cannot wait! But wait we will have to! The production begins previews at The Helen Hayes Theatre--so it will be small and intimate--on April 2, 2024, and then opens for a limited engagement--so get those tickets, girls! --on April 25.
Girls, I cannot wait to see the triumphant return of Celia. Like Aida, or Elizabeth Taylor in "Cleopatra," darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always wanted to ride in somewhere on a gigantic Sphinx, like Liz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well it’s About Time!!!
ReplyDeleteShould be well worth the wait!!!
Victoria,
ReplyDeleteIt will be worth it. Magic always happens when Celia is on stage. Her acting gifts are staggering.
