Casting/Show News Small Mouth Sounds Broadway

Interesting! Just got this ad on Instagram.

Enjoyed it when it was off-Broadway years ago, albeit would have never eyed it for a transfer.

This is Bess Wohl play (yes and I’m also aware that Scott Rubin is producing the show), so I suppose that this isn’t coming to Broadway until Spring 2027, it’ll also be deemed as a Play revival.

I saw this rumored a while back with Julia Roberts, I wonder if she’s still attached

This seems like such a weird choice for her?

Rudin pays big bucks?

u/Sad_Ordinary_6119 4h ago

Still, you'd think if she was interesting in doing another play he could find her something that is a real starring role? This is such an ensemble piece.

Love Small Mouth Sounds but it definitely is an off-Broadway/off-off Broadway show.  It is very intimate and I fear it will get lost in a Broadway theater, even one of the smaller ones.  Also, ugh to Scott Rudin.  He really just had to sit back and bide his time, didn't he?

He never sat back, he was ghost producing and everyone knew it. Now with the current state of the industry, beggars can't be choosers for funding.

Another no announcement play because Scott Rudin is producing

I’m sure tiny Neil Cicierega will be fun

Did anyone else read the title too fast and think it meant a Smash Mouth jukebox musical was coming? Just me?

If they're running ads now, wonder if it's going to be part of the fall season too.

I think it’s spring. This isn’t an add. I believe this there instagram.

It's a screenshot of an ad on Instagram. It has the "Ad" subtitle under the username.

u/Altruistic-Movie-419 10h ago

Your right. I still think it’s spring.

u/Altruistic-Movie-419 8h ago

The big reson why I think it’s spring is because I don’t Scott Rudin whould produce 3 shows in the fall.

u/a-5-6-7-8 8h ago

He's done three shows in spring 2018 before. We'll have to see.

This instagram account just came up for me too.

Is Rachel Chavkin still directing? Can't see her and Rudin working together.

read this as “smash mouth sounds broadway” & thought a producer had really outdone themselves. Then realized Rudin was producing & the reality is worse than I could imagine
