Great news! Hear ye! Hear ye!
Next summer the one and only Al Pacino, one of the greatest actors to have ever breathed air, will be performing FOR FREE in next summer's Shakespeare in Central Park in The Merchant of Venice.
Very exciting. Being a huge movie star and all, Pacino's stage performances are rare but the Bronx native started his career in New York theater so he's really a theater actor at heart. I believe he's done Shakespeare in the park before, like twenty years ago, so he's not unfamiliar with this terrain. And I'm sure all theater fans are happy he's returning.
It's hard to believe that it's been almost FORTY YEARS since The Godfather. Pacino's career has had its ups (The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, Dog Day Afternoon, ...And Justice for All, Dick Tracy, Angels in America) and downs (Revolution, The Godfather Part III, The Recruit) but he always gives a great performance.
The Merchant of Venice runs from June 9 to August 1, 2010. Start planning to camp out for tickets now, the demand is going to be insatiable. This is an offer that can't be refused.
