Revivals will often utilize the ticket selling power that comes with hiring a household name to lead a production - as was the case for the announced revival of SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH, which was set to feature Nicole Kidman and James Franco and open this spring.

Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner CANDICE BERGEN, five-time Tony Award winner ANGELA LANSBURY, Tony and Emmy Award winner JOHN LARROQUETTE and Drama Desk Award winner and Academy Award nominee MICHAEL McKEAN will join the previously announced JAMES EARL JONES in the Spring 2012 Broadway revival of Gore Vidal's THE BEST MAN.

Now, word is out in the New York Times that a starry reading of PICNIC took place on Monday featuring 'Among those reading were the Academy Award-winning actress Melissa Leo ('The Fighter') as the widow Flo; Hayden Panettiere (TV's 'Heroes') as her well-behaved daughter Madge; Laura Innes ('ER') as her neighbor Rosemary; and Seth Numrich ('War Horse') as the college student Alan, the role that was Paul Newman's Broadway debut in 1953.'
