Will Third Time on Broadway Yield Tony Charm for Hoffman?One of the most arguably versatile actors of our age is reportedly ready to return to Broadway for his third time. Academy Award winner and two-time Tony nominee
Philip Seymour Hoffmann will make his way back to the Great White Way to star in
Michael Weller's
50 Words.
Hoffman previously tread the boards in acclaimed performances in
True West (2000) and
Long Day's Journey Into Night (2003); he was Tony nominated for his roles in both plays. I had an opportunity to see the latter -- the heartbreaking, Tony Award-winning revival of
Eugene O'Neill's most autobiographical work. The much-praised production famously starred
Vanessa Redgrave and
Brian Dennehy along with
Robert Sean Leonard. All gave magnificent, nuanced performances.
Hoffman will reportedly make his return once his enormously busy schedule frees up. I have no doubt it will be worth the wait.
