on broadway



I won 
tickets
 to see 
The Heiress
 on 
Broadway
 thanks
 to 
Rosemary 
at 

The show 
which is in previews
 at the Walter Kerr Theatre 
opens on November 1st
 stars 
David Strathairn as her father 
and 
Dan Stevens 
(who plays Mathew on Downton Abbey) 
as her suitor 
with
in the
 film version
 Aunt Lavinia was played by Maggie Smith
(the Dowager Duchess in Downton Abbey)
Ms Ivey played Aunt Elizabeth 

 I found it interesting
that
 this play
 written by Ruth and Augustus Goetz 
adapted from the Henry James novel Washington Square
 has had many productions
on Broadway

in 1949
Billy Wilder
 directed
the film version
starring 
Olivia de Havilland, Ralph Richardson and Montgomery Clift

I was going to recap
 the plot 
for those
 who don't know it 
but 
instead
 I'll give you a link to a recap of it here


I got to see it last night
while it
wasnt
riveting theatre
it was
 enjoyable

Judith Ivey steals the show

Jessica Chastain was fine,
I am sure
 after previews
she will be excellent

I was disappointed
in
Dan Steven's 'American accent'

I am however glad I got to go
 its always fun to go to the theatre

Have you been to the theatre recently?
What did you see?
