Since the announcement of the cancellation of Neil Simon's Broadway Bound at the Nederlander, I am sorry audiences won't get the chance to see Laurie Metcalf dive head first into the play, which garnered a Best Actress in a Play Tony for Linda Lavin in that original 1986 production. Here is a performance of a scene from that year's Tony Award telecast with Lavin, and that production's Eugene, Jonathan Silverman.

Oh how I would love to have heard Laurie Metcalf recite those lines! Watching Linda Lavin makes me appreciate even more Metcalf's wonderfully nuanced performance. No disrespect to Ms. Lavin, but this much more jokey and stereotypical. Makes me cringe a bit.
I'm disappointed that Broadway Bound isn't coming either as BBM was the one I was already familiar with...
But on a side note... wow, 3 minutes spent on one play during a Tony Telecast...
