you want off-broadway? it doesn't get more off-broadway than los angeles! but nooooooooo.
Okay, not really the same thing, I know, but STILL.

Why the hate, Gale, why? It's to be closer to Randy, isn't it? YOU LOVE HIM MORE THAN ME, DON'T YOU? FINE, BE THAT WAY.
I pinky swear I'll be over the moon happy for him and his career later. Right now I'm sad and emo that I'll be stuck renting Suddenly Last Summer opening weekend and not seeing him be brilliant in person. And in a Tennessee Williams play, too! JUST LIKE I HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR ALL THESE YEARS.
Off-Broadway Cast Complete for Blythe Danner-Carla Gugino Suddenly Last Summer
By Ernio Hernandez
September 20, 2006
Becky Ann Baker, Gale Harold, Sandra Shipley, Karen Walsh and Wayne Wilcox join previously announced stars Blythe Danner and Carla Gugino in the upcoming Roundabout Theatre Company Off-Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams' Suddenly Last Summer.
Mark Brokaw (The Constant Wife) directs the work to begin previews Oct. 20 and open Nov. 15 for a limited run through Jan. 21, 2007, at the Laura Pels Theatre in the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre.
In Williams' psychological drama, Danner stars as "the formidable Mrs. Venable, an aging widow distraught over the mysterious death of her son," according to a release. "When the young cousin (Gugino) traveling with him begins raising scandalous allegations, Mrs. Venable will stop at nothing to preserve her son's reputation."
Baker (Roundabout's Assassins) appears as Mrs. Holly with Gale Harold ("Queer as Folk," "Vanished") as Doctor Cukrowicz, Shipley (Arms and the Man, Indiscretions) as Sister Felicity, Walsh (Let's Face It, Sitting Pretty) as Miss Foxhill and Wilcox (Great American Trailer Mark Musical, A Man of No Importance) as George Holly.
The design team for Suddenly Last Summer includes Santo Loquasto (sets and costumes), David Weiner (lights) and Peter Golub (original music & sound).
Danner is currently nominated again for her Emmy Award-winning turn on Showtime's "HUFF." On stage, she earned a Tony Award for her Broadway debut in Butterflies Are Free and was further nominated for performances in A Streetcar Named Desire, Betrayal and Follies. A stage veteran, she has also appeared in the Public Theatre's Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing as well as Williamstown Theatre Festival runs of The Sea Gull, The Royal Family and more. Her movie roles include "1776," "The Great Santini," "Mr. & Mrs. Bridge," "Brighton Beach Memoirs," "Meet the Parents" and "Sylvia."
Gugino, was previously seen at Roundabout in After the Fall. The actress is known for her work on television and film including big screen credits in "Sin City," the "Spy Kids" trilogy, "The Singing Detective," "The One," "Judas Kiss," "Snake Eyes" and the upcoming "Night at the Museum." She starred in the television series "Karen Sisco," appeared on "Chicago Hope" and was also Michael J. Fox's original girlfriend on TV's "Spin City."
Brokaw - who directed last season's The Constant Wife with Kate Burton and Lynn Redgrave for the Roundabout - has also staged Reckless and Off Broadway's Baltimore Waltz, The Long Christmas Ride Home, How I Learned to Drive, Lobby Hero, This Is Our Youth, The Dying Gaul and As Bees in Honey Drown among others. He also directed the world premiere of the new musical Marty with John C. Reilly at Boston's Huntington Theatre Company and A Little Night Music in the Sondheim Celebration at Washington, D.C.'s Kennedy Center.
Suddenly Last Summer made its premiere Off-Broadway Jan. 7, 1958 as part of a double-bill titled Garden District with another Williams work Something Unspoken. The play was adapted into the 1959 screenplay by Williams and Gore Vidal for the movie starring Elizabeth Taylor, Katharine Hepburn and Montgomery Clift.
Up next at Roundabout's Laura Pels Theatre will be the American premieres of Patrick Marber's Howard Katz starring Alfred Molina as the title character under the direction of Doug Hughes (previews from Feb. 2, 2007 and opens March 8) and Brian Friel's The Home Place, directed by Joe Dowling, in the spring/summer.
Tickets may be purchased by calling Roundabout Ticket Services at (212) 719-1300, visiting the Laura Pels box office (111 West 46 Street) or going online at www.roundabouttheatre.org.
Huh. Well. I'm not sure this confirms anything. Wouldn't filming be ending pretty soon anyway for a 13 ep series? If Vanished were a regular 22 ep commitment, I'd say him having to rehearse and be ready by an Oct-Jan run would pretty much require him to not be filming Vanished. But I'm not sure about a 13 ep one. They could have already filmed what they need for now and he'd be back in Jan to film his "return".
And yeah, I'm probably just grasping at straws. *sigh*
Don't you love how we can get answers and still have questions?
Well, if we don't get any more info on it by then, guess y'all will be able to ask him in person in a month. Now whether he'll answer is another matter... :P
Your mission, should you choose to accept, Theatregoers: Be on the lookout for Randolph Harrison. And apparently Peter, too. He's the supportive type. They could be coming to a seat near you! Not to be confused with coming in a seat near you. Then again...
ADKFALKAJDA OMG STOP RUBBING IT IN WITH THE CONTINUAL GALE HAROLD ALERTS, GOOGLE, YOU HEARTLESS BITCH. *cries*
