Hartnett To Star in London Production of “Rain Man”

London is the place to be for Hollywood stars looking to trod the boards. Minnesotan and Hollywood Star Josh Hartnettwill travel across the Atlantic to make his professional stage debut. Hartnett will play the Tom Cruiserole in the stage adaptation of “Rain Man.” The production will bow at the Apollo Theatre, and no doubt move to Broadway if the show is a hit. The Press Association quotes Hartnett as saying: “”It has always been my intent to work on the London stage. It was only when I read the complex and charismatic character of Charlie Babbitt that I knew the time was right.” Hartnett is ready for the West End, is the West End ready for him? Cost of tickets….well, to quote the movie, “About $100 dollars.”
