Contest: See Toni Collette & Marisa Tomei on Broadway!
Wednesday, February 19, 2014 at 12:20PM I have a special surprise for you NYC-area readers whose actressexuality extends beyond the silver screen to the stage. I have one pair of tickets for the March 12th dress rehearsal of the new Broadway play The Realistic Joneses to give away. It stars Toni Collette, Michael C Hall, and Marisa Tomei. I've seen all of them perform live and they're every bit as good on stage as they are onscreen (not something that can be said of all film actors!).
"How well do you know your neighbors?" THE REALISTIC JONESES asks.
...a new play about love and life, friends and neighbors.
Written by Pulitzer Prize finalist WILL ENO and directed by SAM GOLD (Fun Home, Seminar), it's an outrageous, inside look at the people who live next door, the truths we think we know and the secrets we never imagined we all might share. Hailed by The New York Times as "a tender, funny and terrific new play with the spring's most enticing new cast," THE REALISTIC JONESES moves into Broadway's Lyceum Theatre on March 13.

The play also stars Tracy Letts, the playwright, of Killer Joe, Bug, and August: Osage County fame (you've seen him act on Homeland and he won the Tony recently for yet another revival of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"). I spoke to him at the Critics Choice Awards and he told me that he'd be in rehearsals for this very thing on Oscar night when Meryl & Julia are competing for statues in his August: Osage County.

Letts won the Tony for his performance in Virginia Woolf.
that he did
Toni Collette + neighbors = Kitty and Laura, duh! It's a twofer.
Also, I'm super jealous of whichever one of you New Yorkers wins this prize.
I think you should just give these to me, Nathaniel. THAT'S WHAT I THINK. ;)
Lucky lucky lucky, the person who wins this!
I'll just be over here… on the West Coast… silently feeding my jealousy…
