Had to post another Richard II image alongside this wonderful article about how the Old Globe production brought Robert Sean Leonard & Erica Schmidt’s relationship full circle.

This sweet article made me find last Saturday even more special! I cannot believe I had the opportunity to meet both of them (and that they saw my art of the Old Globe)?!

'Orpheus Descending' One of Tennessee Williams Most Incisive Works is a Searing Triumph

Maggie Siff, Pico Alexander in Orpheus Descending (Gerry Goodstein) The hell of the South abides in Erica Schmidt’s revival of Orpheus Descending, currently running at Theatre for a New Audience in Brooklyn until August 6th. Tennessee Williams’ poetically brazen work about the underbelly of America that reeks of discrimination, violence, bigotry and cruelty seems particularly regressive in the…

so, the off-broadway production in comparison to the film gave me some thoughts so I'll dump here (pls keep in mind that I only listened to the stage-show as I am yet to find a bootleg so opinions might not be 100% accurate)

- I'm glad they cast Haley Bennett instead of Jasmine Cephas Jones as Roxanne. I don't think Jasmine's voice suited the role at all. She has a great voice but it sounded too jazzy and poppy in my opinion

- the stageshow is a lot more comedic? Like the entire first act feels more like a comedy than a drama while the movie has a more bittersweet feel from the start. The movie has its little laughs but in the show the characters sometimes feel a bit dumbed down (especially Roxanne and Christian). I feel like that kind of clashed with the tone of the music and characterization. Also, writing wise I preferred the first Act in the film

- I think the 2nd act is better in the play though. It's a lot more detailed and they included scenes that they left out in the film. Scenes that in my opinion are quite important to make the story seem less forced and more natural

- De Guiche is a better villain in the play (played by Ritchie Coster) although I'm not sure how much of that is due to acting. I think it's more the fact that he appears more in the play than in the movie

- Peter Dinklage is a god

the end.

Cyrano is a musical adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac. The musical follows Cyrano, a member of The Kings Guard. Cyrano’s best friend is Roxanne, who he secretly loves. Her family wants to marry her off to De Guiche, so Cyrano encourages a relationship between Roxanne and Christian, believing that he himself would never be accepted as her suitor. 

Cyrano stars Peter Dinklage (Cyrano), Haley Bennett (Roxanne), Kelvin Harrison Jr. (Christian), Ben Mendelsohn (De Guiche), and Bashir Salahuddin (Le Bret). Joe Wright is directing. The musical is adapted from the stage production by Erica Schmidt with music by Aaron Dessner and Bryce Dessner and lyrics by Matt Berninger and Carin Besser.
