The show made my cry like a baby, especially since I had just gone through a terrible breakup, but I genuinely don't know how this (or any show, honestly) would make someone want to slit their wrists.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Doesn't the username sundaymourning6am say it all, though?

I was totally moved by this play, saw it twice and I'm really happy it's getting a chance to play for a wider audience. Big thumbs up to whoever decided to put it on Broadway. And just because The Humans got brought up, IMHO, I felt Significant Other was a far superior play.

Spoiler... we've all lost love and I applaud the author for acknowledging that it's not just romantic or parental love that matters. Losing a friends love is painful and worthy of dramatic exploration too.

My favorite play in YEARS. Saw it twice at the Roundabout. So excited to get to see it at least one more time on Bway. Gideon Glick gives an incredible performance which will hopefully lead to a Tony nomination for him (and for the play).

This kind of performance could/should lead to breakout TV or film roles for Glick.
