Here's ScarJo As Maggie The Cat
Tony Award-winning actress Scarlett Johansson (Note: If my fingertips had eyes, they would've side-eyed me into the next room for typing that.) is back on Broadway playing the role that got Elizabeth Taylor an Oscar nomination when she did it a million years ago. ScarJo has the natural charisma of a sloth on a cold wood roof, but since actresses who haven't been on the cover of Life & Style don't sell theater tickets, the producers of the newest Broadway revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (or "Cat on a Hot Tin Ruff" if you're from New England) cast ScarJo as Maggie the Gato. First LiLo in Liz & Dick and now this? Hasn't Elizabeth Taylor been through enough?
Previews started this week and ScarJo acts opposite Ciarán Hinds, Debra Monk and Benjamin Walker. ScarJo is apparently getting $40,000 a week plus 7.5% of ticket sales if the show is a hit, and that's really not a lot of money considering that the average ticket price for a Broadway show is two kidneys and the deed to your house.
Of course, I really want to travel to NYC to pay hundreds of dollars to see a rattan lamp outshine ScarJo (figuratively and literally), but I'm not going to. Nothing can top the production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof I saw at a community theater in Orange County California a thousand years ago. Maggie wore a slip that I swear was from Wet Seal and at one point the actor playing Brick forgot he was supposed to have a broken leg and started walking normal before he realized it and said, "Ohshit!" And during one of Maggie's 300-minute long monologues, the old bitch in front of me, shouted, "Is she ever going to shut up?"
Unless that grouchy old bitch is seated in the front row during every one of ScarJo's show, I don't need to see it.
But seriously, apparently people who saw the first preview are saying she's good. We might soon live in a world where ScarJo is a two-time Tony Award winner.

she's only 5'2. never heard about her having monstrous feet either. Maybe it's the white sandals. and the angle.
Love her lips and face more than Joli's . I can get her (joli's) attraction now, but when I first saw with my own virgin eyes (no media sensationalism) she didn't strike me as beautiful at all.

True, the H8'ters are out. Three movies that I liked a lot with ScarJo: Match Point, VCB and Ghostworld.
What's up with her feet? Are they a size 12, Mens?

definitely Hathaway over-emotes and is not as good as Boyle. Exibit A:

Hathaway B (literally a b-side version):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2AE2aL0-6Y
she has a nice soprano voice, however, Boyle did it better. Much, much better. What a voice.
I didn't make the link at first with les misèrables and the song with hathaway. ;)

this is my all time favorite version of I dreamed a dream:

nothing compared to Anne Hathaway's version. Live too.
I wonder what became of Susanne. Hopefully, she made a bundle to quietly retire and live a life of peaceful luxury. Not that her voice won't be missed, but I don't think show biz was an industry for her. I hope she performs at private parties and such.
I love Ciaran Hinds. He is aging roughly but still has presence and chops. All the Brit actors are getting work stateside - see Damian Lewis (Homeland) for example. They have been perfecting their 'merican accents.
and that dress aint a slip. i hope they arent pretending it is.

her stance in that top picture is freaking me out. i mean, okay, *I* dont know how to stand particularly ladylike, but i am short and chunky and never went to finishing school. can these goddamned actresses PLEASE go to finishing school, so they can learn how to goddamned stand? she looks like a longshoreman!

I dont think she's a bad actress, theres just something about her I don't like. I cant put my finger on it. I enjoy hr films, but not her. Like I enjoy ben stiller but I think every single one of his films is shit.

Kudos on your drama experience in HS." Aww thanks! I more dabbled in it. I was also a jock, so it was more to round out my college application. Speaking of HS theater, one of my best friends Nina sang "I Dreamed a Dream" in a student review and she was so perfect that I actually started crying.
She's now a pediatrician, married with three little dudes.

oh sweet. those are some fond memories. :)
I remember another great play, I really liked in an English Drama class called, Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen. as i was reading it, and writing my essay, I'd imagine being her character. She was such a cold hearted bitch. It's always funner to play the villain or antagonist. At least, I prefer those roles.
I still have the volume with 3 plays in it, The Pillars of the Community, The Wild Duck and Hedda Gabler. They cover the time period between 1828-1906. It will be nice after all these years to go through them again and check my pen inserted side notes and highlighted lines. They have similar themes to Cat on a Hot Tin Roof as they're from the same genre - Drama.

Saw this the other night. She is quite wonderful as Maggie the cat. I did not expect to enjoy her as much as I did. And this was after only one preview performance under her belt. Who knew. Good for her.

Good to hear! I'm seriously considering attending. The official opening is set for the 17th of January and will run through March. Waiting to get some friends on board and hopefully work out a date. It will be a bit of a drive but nothing dramatic, and with gas prices sky rocketing a flight would be even cheaper and much faster.

Kudos on your drama experience in HS. I only have elementary practice in plays. In one, I had won the lead (we were maybe 3 competing for it). It was a murder mystery and I had ended up being the one who poisoned everyone and then drank the poison and croaked. Curtains drawn. Very cheerful for a 6th grader play. We were a small school but it was in front of all the other students, and then parents in the evening. Later, I didn't participate in drama because I had become too involved in sports.
word. snotty bunch they are, indeed! Nothing I dislike more than pseudo intellectuals. I was reading the reviews and this one made me LOL:
"Increasingly, it seems as if it takes artistic courage to let the play speak for the play. "
I would say it takes respect for the author and a deflation of some gargantuan, presumptuous egos.
As a favor to a friend, I volunteered to help with the sound (aka press play on an iPod) for my friend's community theater show. It was the oddest two weeks of my life. The people were...off. Always needed to be the center of attention. Loud. Constantly referencing off-Broadway musicals. Social outcasts rejected by the world at large but comfortable onstage.
What I'm saying is I will forever see ScarJo as one of them.

*high fives CodeRed* I was in Drama Club in high school and it was scary as shit to act/sing in front of an audience. Since I grew up in a small town, the audience was basically classmates/friends/relatives, so I cannot imagine how scary it would be to be on Broadway.
I salute her putting herself out there since the theater crowd are snotty as hell and not afraid to eviscerate an actor, regardless of talent/pedigree. I think ScarJo and even Katie Holmes are brave (actor brave, not firefighter/SWAT/cop/soldier brave) to tackle roles because they are trying to grow as an actor and really being vulnerable to being eviscerated.
ETA: I love Ciaran Hinds. Sexy old duffer.

Love Ciarian (no idea where the accent goes). Don't lie MK, you would not go to NY for anything, you having too much fun at In-N-Out burgerland (and now Ha-wa-eeeeeeee, you lucky mofo).
Scarjo "trying to act" is a little too much to fathom this time of year. Just show up girl and keep the cleavage visible.

Scarjo doesn't bother me either. I applaud her for tackling broadway and I LOVE the way she shut down the vapid dieting talk while promoting 'the avengers', unlike that Oscar HONGRAY bitch Anne HAGaway. Yes, I have an intense irrational hatred of AH. Anyhizzle best of luck to scarjo. I have to respect her tackling such an iconic role.
******************************************
as I was reading the article, I read that it's a character which is outside her comfort zone, which she feels comfortable in today. it reminded me of hathaway, crying about losing 25lbs. Bitch, it's right up yo alley, right in your comfort zone. don't act like it was the most challenging thing you've ever had to do. how the singing go? Apparently, it was overdone and sounded like wailing warns that someone is about to die (i.e a warning to not forget your earplugs).
Maggie the cat has to convey simmering sexual frustration. I think ScarJo is too generally flat to do that.
ETA: Umm..(for Jack's benefit) not 'flat' in the chesticle region but her acting range.
************
awesome. I let a few of my friends know about this and who knows, I still have all my organs in operational condition, so I may end up going....
I totally get the hate. She's not pretty enough to get a complete pass on not being able to act really well. She's also not plain enough looking to get the pass on being average or your girl next door. She's just awkward all around, and I really wish she could act better.

I never understood why all the hate for ScarJo. IMO I think she's a solid actor, I don't think she sucks that's for sure. I think she's kinda cute and when she a bit heavier with her full boobs I want to put my hotdog costume on and jump on top of her.
-----------------------------------------------
Speaking of sucks, it was that scene in The Man Who Knew Too Much where she tried to give Billy Bob Thorton a bj that had me looking up her name. Boy oh boy.
But for some reason she gives me the impression she snorts when she laughs. I could only take so much of that. Egads.

She is horribly pigeon toed.
She is ok. Doesn't bother me too much but she is overrated. But not amanda seyfried, emma watson, or hathaway annoying.

In general, I read the first link, all the review and interview and it has given me an even greater appreciation for her.
And she's not reincarnating Liz Taylor, it has nothing to do with Liz Taylor (not that it's even mentioned in the review), she was one of many actresses who played Cat. Maybe the original, perhaps, but she acted the character scripted, she didn't invent her. I think SJ brings her own version, or as close to the real version of the character Cat is supposed to be like, and I'm glad it's a success.
IF- sorry you're still feeling poorly. That must be a really nasty bug, because it sounds like you generally eat healthy and must be in good shape with all the tennis you play. Hopefully it runs it's course soon.
