Breaking Baz: Cate Blanchett, Tom Burke And Emma Corrin Hoping To Land Their Soaring ‘Seagull’ In New York
The London Barbican Theatre’s scintillating production of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull is setting course for New York in 2026, sources say.
Blanchett, who plays Arkádina, the giddy, vainglorious stage idol, declared on Late Show With Stephen Colbert a few weeks ago that she hopes it might move to “the Armory or BAM” [Brooklyn Academy of Music] following its six-week season in London. I’m thinking here particularly of Rami Malek (he’s good in The Amateur movie) in Oedipus at the Old Vic and Sigourney Weaver in director Jamie Lloyd’s The Tempes t at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. Other presenters on hand to award Olivier busts Sunday include Atwell, Rose Ayling-Ellis, Samantha Barks, Corbin Bleu, Naomi Campbell, Elizabeth Debicki, Idris Elba, Marianne Elliot, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Martin Freeman, Hiddleston, Celia Imrie, Shobana Jeyasingh, Jane Krakowski, Ewan McGregor, Chris O’Dowd, Elaine Paige, Harriet Scott, Bryn Terfel, Gok Wan and Jacqueline Wilson.
