Zoe Kazan, future of American theater?
MTC's Come Back Little Sheba announced casting today, and Zoe Kazan will play Marie, the college student who boards with Lola (S. Epatha Merkerson).
Zoe Kazan is the future of American theater! Okay, maybe that's going overboard... (could it be possible for an actor to define the future of theater? talk amongst yourselves.) ...but is there anything she can't do? I still think she'd make an excelleng Eliza Doolittle in Pygmalion - in fact, I'd rather watch her in roles she's not really right for than better-suited actresses, just because she's so damn interesting. No, entrancing. No, tranfixing. Not to mention smart, cool, and adorable. I love her, that's all.

She is the very definition of awesome, having added her crazy greatness to two shows this fall (100 SAINTS YOU SHOULD KNOW and THINGS WE WANT). Question is, will she still be the future of the American THEATER after the rest of the world catches her plum role in Sam Mendes' upcoming REVOLUTIONARY ROAD, opposite Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet?
I'm sorry but I saw her a couple of years ago in The Crucible at Yale and she was AWFUL. She was really the weak link in the production and I have been continually shocked that she gets such high profile work. I wonder what she'd do without her last name...
