An announcement from Broadwayworld.com:
The 10th Annual "Broadway Bears" auction will be presented on February 11th, 2007. Once again hosted by Bryan Batt (La Cage aux Folles, Beauty and the Beast), it will take place at B.B. King Blues Club and Grill (237 W. 42nd Street). Apparently one of the bears is dressed as Nicholas Nickleby and is to be signed by Roger. Can anyone get me a picture of this?

Williamstown 2007
On January 29 Roger announced the Williamstown Theatre Festival's upcoming season at the Adams Memorial Theatre. The season features three world premieres and brings Kate Burton, Kathleen Turner and B.D. Wong to Williamstown. Roger himself will direct B.D. Wong in the one-man musical Herringbone. Roger will appear at the festival too:
"Other Events - Mondays at the Festival
In addition to the new productions on the Main, Nikos and Center Stages, the Festival has an extensive schedule of other performances and readings. Each Monday night the spotlight turns to these events.
Mon. July 30:
WHAT YOU WILL – AN EVENING BY AND ABOUT THE BARD.
Roger Rees created and stars in this one-man show celebrating Shakespeare's works. Rees incorporates hysterical, historical, and histrionic observations on the Bard by notable personalities, ranging from David Garrick to George Bernard Shaw to Stevie Wonder. This new show premieres March 30 – April 1 at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington DC, as part of the Shakespeare in Washington Festival."
Artistic Director Roger Rees said, “This season holds great promise. We are delighted to present our first commissioned work, a play by Crispin Whittell, a wonderful young writer. We are thrilled to welcome the return of artists richly associated with the Festival, including Kate Burton and Nicky Martin, and others yet to come. Also, it’s very exciting to welcome Kathleen Turner and B. D. Wong to our family, as they bring their rich talents and great experience to our season. The generosity and friendship of Williams College means that this year we are presenting two plays in the Center Stage, architect William Rawn’s marvelous free-form black box theater. I believe that our community in Williamstown, audiences and artists alike, will have a truly wonderful season, one that will entertain, enliven and enlighten.”

The Prestige
Travelling back from Brazil to the Netherlands I got to see "The Prestige", just before it opens in the Netherlands. Not the best way to see it, on a small screen, but good enough for me. As always, not enough Roger in the film. I quite liked the film, though I didn't really like any of the main characters. At least it is good to see Roger in a big production, and not playing a villain for once.
