American’s, REJOICE! Paul Mescal as Stanley Kowalski is headed to Broadway!

Americans, SHAKE AND CRY!

Viola Davis for Blanche

Andrew Scott for Stella

Lindsey Graham was born to play the role of Blanche!

Jim Parsons IS Eunice Hubbell!

I thought it got the part of Blanche.

I hope Blanche is some very old hag and Paul upchucks a bit in his throat every night to get through his scenes.

R5 we don’t know if the West End’s actresses will be brought to the Broadway show. They may wanna hire American Broadway stars to play opposite him.

Is he bisexual like Marlon Brando?

Saw it in London. Weird direction.

This production may attract a recognizable American names for Blanche and Stella so no need to import the Brits.

R10 I don’t even think they need big names for the two female roles. Paul Mescal is a big name himself. He will attract many people.

Octavia Spencer at Stella

Dylan Mulvaney as Blanche

He looks like a homeless demented little troll.

Here comes a Tony award for Paul. He’s gonna be a fierce and original Stanley in Streetcar!! He’ll probably go full frontal too.

R14 there is no nudity.

DL fave and mother of a trans child Jamie Lee Curtis as Stella.

Alok IS Blanche DuBois.

Has Dylan Mulvaney had the chop?

I think Marlon Brando was a pompous, major-league asshole, but Mr. Mescal, thems some pretty big acting shoes to step into. You sure you got the chops?

R18 being that he already played the role, I’d say YES.

Paul can hook up with Nicholas Chavez and certain DL eldergay heads will explode.

Nicole Shitstirrer as the nurse!

Andrew Scott for Blanche.

Jonathan Bailey for Stella.

Also, the cast is nude.

R11. True but high profile actors might be attracted to the project because of Paul. But, yes, his name alone will sell tickets.

No British woman can play Blanche.

R26 only one did. And she did amazing.

Dissapointed. I love Streetcar but I did not like the direction of this one. PM was great but I was not into the direction, both of the actors and of the play itself. I hoped we would get a Broadway/NYC Streetcar of its own.

R15 there have been Streetcars in the past with FFM nudity..but not this one, I am sorry to say.

"American’s" what, OP?

What possession of the one American should rejoice? His or her pet?

Don’t be silly r17. He’s not that committed.

An all male version set in a nudist colony was a crowd pleaser on Fire Island some years back. We were told there were high hopes for an off-Broadway production based on positive word of mouth 👄.

Not Broadway, but Brooklyn.

[quote][R26] only one did. And she did amazing.

Please, Vivien Leigh was not convincing as an American nor Southern Belle.

Too British, IMO.

She mainly gets praise from liberals who have a hard-on for Brits/Euros.

Not to mention, her acting was too stagey. Both here and in GONE WITH THE WIND.

Not surprisingly, she was mainly a London stage actress who made very few films.

Whoever plays the other parts, no color blind casting PLEASE!

I guess those unconvincing performances explain Leigh's two Oscars.

Then logically it follows your man won on Tuesday. I'd say that pretty much rates your judgment.

What’s the direction of this version? Is it modernized? I like Gillian Anderson’s turn at it a few years ago.

R33 good. I live 2 blocks from BAM

The West-Ends Stella and Blanche are reprising their roles

Blegh.

[quote]Paul Mescal as Stanley Kowalski is headed to Broadway!

Oh, dear.

Indian Stella

Unattractive Blanche

Weird, pretentious directing

PM is fine but I'll pass.

Too young cast too.

His face confuses me. How is he both so fug and so sexy all at the same time?

What's a rejoice? I thought that was a verb.

Omg it’s impossible to get tickets!!!

Do we need another revival of this?

His face is confusing and the casting is confusing. I'm sorry but a Black Southern Belle in the 1940's? I just can't. Absurd, no matter how brilliant the acting.

R49 who is black?

Because the actress who plays Stella is brown but not BLACK.

So uneducated

That content warning ....eye roll fucking worthy.

From what I heard and saw its a terrible pretentious revival not worth my time. Mescal is hot, but thats about it.

R49 black would at least make more sense, geographically speaking, than freaking INDIAN lol

I just opined in another thread that it’s a real shame we never got to see DL icon Carol Channing play Blanche DuBois.

So my vote is for a Carol Channing type. (The play’s so heavy it could use a lift like that.)

[quote] Omg it’s impossible to get tickets!!!

I went to the website and got in line to see what was still available. There were no tickets available for any performance.

[quote]The West-Ends Stella and Blanche are reprising their roles

How is that possible?

Actors' Equity has been sleeping on the job lately.

R53 yes but she is Indian. That poster claimed BLACK when she isn’t black. Gen Z is so fucking uneducated it’s actually scary

Finally got my ticket.

I can do color blind casting in most cases. A POC Stanley? Ok, sure. A non white Mitch? No problem. Blanche and Stella being poc? Awesome. But 2 fucking bio sisters being of separate races, meant to have grown up in the deep south of the 1920s and 30s is just excrutiatingly dumb. Especially when one of the races likely barely existed in that region at the time, like in this case.

Were you there?? How do you know who was walking around Laurel, Mississippi?
