EDITOR’S NOTES: STARS TO SHINE AGAIN ON BROADWAY

Learning from last year's successes that Hollywood stars are box office dynamite producers are once again gleaning the galaxy to enhance their incoming productions.
Here’s three productions to start the season:


Jude Law in London’s Donmar production of Hamlet will arrive on Broadway Sept. 12 for a 12-week engagement at the Broadhurst Theatre. His first time on the Broadway stage since his Tony-nominated debut in 1995 in Indiscretions.
Better get on this ticket ASAP


Dynamic testosterone duo Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman will star in A Steady Rain, by Keith Huff about two Chicago cops with differing accounts of an incident. It opens Tuesday, September 29, 2009 at the Gerald Schoenfeld for a strictly limited 12 week engagement through Sunday, December 6, 2009.
