    The show right now is playing at BAM to a SOLD OUT crowd. People are buying the tickets like crazy on EBAY. And ofcourse the psycho Trek fans are showing up in costume to the performances. This is just downright crazy

    Omg! Patrick Stewart is an amazing stage actor! I saw him 2 years ago in London for a one man production of A Christmas Carol. I went into it not expecting much, but he blew me away. He was able to play dozens of characters, all with different voices and body language! And, I got to meet him after the show. He was such a sweet man. I think he'll be fab in Macbeth. Don't talk shit about him, Perez! :-)

    I've seen Patrick Stewart in West End (London) productions of both A christmas Carol and Macbeth, he's an incredible actor and a presence to behold on stage. If you get the opportunity you should definately see this.

    Just let us have him back sometime soon thanks.

    Saw Patrick Stewart in Macbeth last week! A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!!!!! The man is a stone genius actor, born to play this role. Amazing. I wish everyone could see this - you, too, Perez. I am HOPING they will make a film of it. And lemme tell ya, Mr. Stewart is a handsome devil - those eyes are unbelievable!

    I saw this in Brooklyn. Wish I would have waited because the cheap seats were barstools.

    I was so excited to see PS in The Roundabout Theatre's production of The Caretaker on Broadway. After the show a very, very elderly man hobbled to the stage to ask for Mr. Stewart;s autograph. PS sneered at him and rudely blew him off. I've not been a fan ever since. So sad.

    Good for Patrick. He is an amazing actor and though I have not had the pleasure of seeing him on stage, I can tell from movies and TV appearences he has a very strong stage pressence. And RK and CoClo, Shakespere and theater are wondeful and only oh I don't wnat to say uneducated twerps, but it is the only thing I can think of, would say that about the two greatest things on earth.
    Patrick is a great Shakeperean actor, it is his true love.
    Make it so.

    Re: kristiee – MMMMMMM How about MACBETH!!!!!!!

    Yo Perez, look beyond the USA for a bit. Patrick is not "returning" to the theatre, in Britain he's been doing nothing else for at least a year! He's enjoyed wide acclaim for his Macbeth in 2007 and has obviously now decided to let the USA enjoy the same show. Nice one Patrick!

    This is OLLLLDDDD news.

    He's already in that show at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM).

    Brooklyn represent!

    Wow. This was posted on playbill.com three or four days ago that he was coming to NYC - maybe even more. Plus he's been in London on stage for the past year or more. Someone is SERIOUSLY slacking on these…

  44. ERM says – reply to this


    44

    umm, he is saying bwahaha because

    1) you are not supposed to say "macbeth" before a show… it is bad luck
    2) you are not supposed to say "good luck", you are supposed to say break a leg

    he was making a pun about acting superstitions, not being a dick (for once)
