Cate Blanchett Brings Uncle Vanya To Town

Cate Blanchett and her husband, co-artistic director Andrew Upton, launch the new Sydney Theatre Company season on Friday (September 25) in Sydney, Australia.

The couple will be bringing the gentle Chekhov play Uncle Vanya to STC next season starring John Bell, Richard Roxburgh and Hugo Weaving (The Matrix trilogy). That’s why Cate and Hugo were BFF last weekend!

“Good Chekhov is like being at an amazing dinner party, and I’d want to sit at a table with all of those men,” Cate said of her co-stars.

15+ pictures inside of Cate Blanchett bringing Uncle Vanya to town…

Cate’s looking great and nice to see her contributions to the theater.
Couples who share common goals and interests and who get to work together on those interests - apart from family life - usually have happier and more rewarding unions.

She’s one of the most elegant woman in the business. If you haven’t seen Notes on a Scandal, find it and watch her performance. Absolutely riveting, so say the least.

Love her refined style. The beach bum girls should take a lesson from her.

Cate Blanchett is so gorgeous! She could do so much better than him! I know looks aren’t everything, but he’s not even attractive in the least.

Wow! 100% class, style & elegance! Cate looks gorgeous! The two of them look so happy together, more Hollywood stars could learn a thing or two from them.
