I think this rush of movie stars to Broadway is a great thing, because it gets people who would not normally go out and see theater, go out and see theater. Although I do not agree that these actors should be judged harder then the rest, they do deserve judgement, and no one hits gold everytime. The fact that these actors are passing up million dollar pay checks and instead trying something new, and different is worth the applause and hope that they continue to try their luck on Broadway. As to Laura's comment I don't think anyone should be restricted to a stereotypical role, and taking risks and trying to do something you don't know if you can is what life is all about. Although clearly Julia Roberts has tried to do something outside ofher reach this time.
