Aphrodite aims her bow at Faydra and lets an arrow of love fly. Nothing is ever the same. Mostly because the object of Faydra\u2019s sudden, all-devouring lust is her soon-to-be stepson. <\/p>\n<p>Shades of \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d! Suddenly Greek mythology is in vogue.<\/p>\n<p>Manhattan Theater Club is producing the play at City Center, which is considered off Broadway. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a smart choice for everyone involved. Moore will arrive will all the spring season premieres, but not be involved in the crazy run to the Tony Awards. This is an acknowledgement of the Tonys\u2019 antipathy toward \u201cHollywood\u201d stars.<\/p>\n<p>More casting will be announced soon. You can bet it will be filled with \u201cnames.\u201d MTC already has Den\u00e9e Benton, Patina Miller in \u2018School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play,\u201d Lauren Ambrose in \u201cThe Unbelievers,\u201d and Danny Burstein, Micaela Diamond, Jessica Hecht, Will Pullen,\u00a0and Jeremy Shamos in \u201cAwake and Sing!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the same time that Julianne takes the stage at City Center, Laura Linney will star on Broadway for them at the Samuel G. Freedman Theater in a new play by David Hare called \u201cMontauk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We wouldn\u2019t want Julianne Moore and Laura Linney in an awards race, would we? No one would survive, starting with the critics!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u2605 Make Showbiz411 your Preferred Source on Google Julianne Moore has an Oscar, lots of other accolades, and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":318516,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-318515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318515","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=318515"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318515\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/318516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=318515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=318515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=318515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
