One Scene, Two Ways: Laura Linney and Cynthia Nixon Play Regina in The Little Foxes
Manhattan Theatre Club's revival of Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes, starring three-time Tony nominee Laura Linney and Tony winner Cynthia Nixon, opens tonight at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. In the production, Linney and Nixon alternate the roles of Regina Giddens and her sister-in-law, Birdie Hubbard. With that in mind, the production has released two different versions of a particular scene, with Linney and Nixon as Regina.

Here's Linney's version:
They are joined by Darren Goldstein (The Madrid), Michael McKean (All the Way), Richard Thomas (An Enemy of the People), David Alford (Nashville), Michael Benz (West End's The Importance of Being Earnest), Caroline Stefanie Clay (Doubt), Francesca Carpanini (The Tempest), and Charles Turner (The Trip to Bountiful).
The creative team for The Little Foxes includes Scott Pask (scenic design), Jane Greenwood (costume design), Justin Townsend (lighting design), and Fitz Patton (sound design).
