Tavi was exceptional in THE CRUCIBLE. I can't wait to see her in this.

I don't understand the hate Gevinson gets around here. I liked her in THIS IS OUR YOUTH and thought she was one of the best parts of THE CRUCIBLE. Perhaps some are jealous that, given her prior notoriety, she's been able to break into acting so easily.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I'd never heard of her before THIS IS OUR YOUTH.

But this article is very dismissive -

I thought she was terribly one note in This Is Our Youth, and I found her grating. The performance, to my eyes and ears, was shouty and not at all grounded in reality, and I felt Kieran Culkin and Michael Cera both outshone her.

In The Crucible, she gave essentially the same performance, though it was slightly less grating there. Her posture is also AWFUL which to me is unacceptable for a theater actor.

I think the real problem lies among some of the forum posters on BroadwayWorld because they can be real assholes.
