What Goes Into Mounting a Show

Broadway’s abuzz with the return of Hugh Jackman to the New York stage this fall, but there’s another Hugh a-comin’, and he goes by the last name Dancy.

The Brit (pictured here with costar Nina Arianda) will be starring in Venus in Fur starting on Nov. 11, as a frustrated playwright who has been unsuccessfully trying to cast the female lead in his adaptation of the 19th century German erotic novella Venus in Furs.

Until he meets Arianda’s engrossing, and irritating, actress character.

What follows then is an intense, 90-minute backstage power struggle between the two.

And from what I can see in this first-look-see it looks like the pair will make for a fun and sexy time during the show, which I know audiences will enjoy (I would – these two are pretty gorge to look at).
