I'm sorry..you don't do BROADWAY or OFF BROADWAY and have someone feeding you lines from teh front row...SHESSHHH! I expected more from from Matthew! The new play starring Matthew Broderick
has pushed back its opening by a week after a problem-plagued first
preview that included its star needing a prompter in the front row to
assist him with his lines. Messages posted on various theater
Web sites said the actor called out nearly a dozen times for lines
during the Monday performance of the three-hour play written and
directed by Kenneth Lonergan. New Group artistic director Scott Elliott says "The Starry Messenger" will now open Nov. 23.
The play about an astronomy teacher's affair with a younger woman had
been scheduled to open Nov. 16 at the small Acorn Theatre on 42nd Street.
NEW YORK (AP) - Look for "The Starry Messenger" to arrive off-Broadway later than originally planned.
