Stewart Lane & Bonnie Comley....Congratulations on the SUCCESS of Romeo and Juliet on Broadway

http://blacktiemagazine.com/society_september_2013/Romeo_and_Juliet_Opens_on_Broadway.htm

International film star Orlando Bloom has been heating up the inside of the Richard Rogers Theater and hundreds of his fans have been blocking traffic on the streets on West 46th street outside the stage door for several weeks of previews but the show opened on Thursday, September 19th and the crowd is under control for this very limited run. This version of the classic tale retains Shakespeare's original language but a modern setting in which the rival families (the Montagues and the Capulets) are white and black. It is required reading in most schools and if you don't take your teenage daughters and grand daughters to see this one, they may never forgive you! It features a shirtless Bloom, a panting Rashad, a motorcycle, balloons, flames shooting out over a wall of graffiti and terrific acting. The show runs through January 12th.

Romeo and Juliet stars Orlando Bloom (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lord of the Rings) and two-time Tony Award nominee Condola Rashad (Stick Fly, The Trip to Bountiful) and ,although, Bloom is happily married to supermodel Miranda Kerr , the on stage chemistry between Bloom and Rashad has been gossip fodder for the internet. This is the first Broadway revival of Romeo and Juliet in 36 years. Considered by many as the greatest love story of all time, this stunningly modern production from five-time Tony nominee David Leveaux includes the acclaimed cast of 25 featuring Tony Award winners Brent Carver (Kiss of the Spider Woman), Chuck Cooper (The Life), two-time Tony nominee Jayne Houdyshell (Follies) and Christian Camargo (All My Sons).

Guests attending the star studded opening included: Miranda Kerr, Sir Ian McKellan, Spike Lee, Liev Schreiber, Al Roker, Mamie Gummer, Tyra Banks, Phylicia Rashad, Terry Allen Kramer and her grand daughter Brianne Goutal, James & Charlene Nederlander, James & Margo Nederlander, Stewart Lane, Bonnie Comley, Sawyer Avery, Deborah Cox, Constantine Maroulis, and Jordon Roth, among others.
