Susan Sarandon And Geoffrey Rush Coming To Broadway

NEW YORK — Arthur Miller, Anton Chekhov and now Eugene Ionesco on Broadway this season.

Ionesco's classic absurdist comedy "Exit the King" opens March 26 with two Oscar winners _ Geoffrey Rush and Susan Sarandon _ in starring roles.

Rush plays a monarch who has brought his country to ruin and Sarandon is his conniving first wife.

Previews begin March 7 at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. The adaptation is by Rush and Neil Armfield, who will also direct. The two worked on a critically praised production of the play in Australia in 2007.

Class all the way. I just love her she so down to earth and real. She one of the best talents ever.

Susan: You're a class act in a world of hacks.

That should be superb - the clash of the Titans. Wish I still lived in NYC.

Susan Sarandon is so hot...

IMO, she's the best actress working today. She is GREAT, even in bad movies.

That's all Broadway needs. More left-wing shenanigans. Sheesh!

Well, we sure as hell don't need any right wing nuts. Because of the right, there are far fewer people able to afford tickets.

Yeah right, we have all been waiting for something starring Bo Derek, Ben Stein and Jon Voight! It is to show business's credit that the rich and famous there aren't all greed-bound and goony-conservative like the rich and famous in other endeavors are. Especially interesting that Clint Eastwood, if, indeed he is still a conservative, has to hire liberals to act in his movies if he wants to make a good film.
