<p>That possibility appears small. In an "<a href="/2009/daily-transom/making-money-theater-lot-like-making-money-movies" target="_blank">active but brutal</a>" season where celebrity appearances have proved key to success, the buzzy Blanchett <em>Streetcar</em> would seem like a strong prospect on Broadway--but! Obstacles. Like:</p>
<p>- Babies. A Broadway production requires a long run in order for producers to recoup their investment, and Blanchett has three little kids to consider.</p>
<p>- Unions. Would they keep the Sydney Theater Company Actors, or replace them with Equity members?</p>
<p>- Stephen C. Byrd. He has the rights to to an all-black production of <em>Streetcar</em>, and <em>The Times</em> reports that "several Broadway producers" believe he has dibs on any Broadway production of the play in the immediate future.</p>
<p>So, return to your business. You will probably not be seeing Blanchett DuBois on Broadway anytime soon, nor will you magically get BAM tickets this weekend.</p>
