New York — Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad will star on Broadway this fall in a modern take on William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," a revival that will add an intriguing element of racial contrast to the classic tale of two star-crossed lovers.
"The last thing we wanted to do was to do a sort of pompous, classic version of `Romeo and Juliet,'" said director David Leveaux, a five-time Tony Award nominee. "I'm just taking away all the wallpaper and mantelpieces, all the kind of pompous stuff we associate with grand Shakespeare productions, and try to go as simple as possible."
Producers said Monday that previews at the Richard Rodgers Theatre will begin Aug. 24 with an opening night set for Sept. 19. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on April 8.
The production will also star two-time Tony Award nominee Jayne Houdyshell as the Nurse and Tony nominee Joe Morton as Lord Capulet.

Performing the nine one-act plays of Horton Foote's "The Orphans' Home Cycle" is a daunting challenge. But five of the main actors wouldn't have it any other way. Many have worked together on other pieces by the late playwright, who died in March at age 92. More than a few Foote plays have been helmed by Michael Wilson, who directs the cycle Off-Broadway at the Signature Theatre Company and previously at the Hartford Stage. The three-part production, which plays in repertory, has received raves, and there are rumors it will be heading to Broadway in the fall. Ironically, the work may not have come to fruition at all, because of the economic crisis, says Wilson, who is artistic director of Hartford Stage. "The world changed September 2008, and it had a terrible impact on theater companies," says Wilson. "We saw many companies close. So people started scurrying to try and figure...
