Meet Your Mormon

.
We knew that Russell Tovey wasn't doing the new revival Angels in America when it transferred from London to Broadway next year because he was busy with Quantico duties - well the folks behind the revival, which stars Andrew Garfield and Nathan Lane, just went and snagged a pretty great get to replace him. Lee Pace, star of Pushing Daisies (sigh) and Halt and Catch Fire (also sigh), is going to play Joe Pitt, the closeted Mormon law-clerk aka the role that Patrick Wilson let it all hang out for in Mike Nichols' movie. As did Tovey on stage...

It's one of them parts. I hadn't been planning on going to see the production because I saw the National Theater Live screenings earlier this summer, which were wonderful but seemed like plenty, but now... with Lee Pace up there in Joe Pitt's magic underpants? Now I don't know how I could miss it.
