I don't have a problem with them including Off Broadway, mostly because Yerma was one of the best productions of the season and I really wish it/Piper were eligible

True West opens January 24 at the American Airlines, so it would likely overlap with Kiss Me Kate previews- so my guess is Studio 54
Ironically the epilogue was my favorite part of the show. It's the only section in the play that really grapples with Joan's legacy.
This show left me completely unmoved. I loved Rashad in Doll's House, so I was looking forward to seeing her in a true lead role.
And while she's great, she disappears for long stretches so that men can talk about her. Page and Davenport each have good monologues, but I found myself really missing Rashad while she was offstage
What a brilliant show. Billie Piper gave a tour de force performance, and Brendan Cowell was also excellent. Very dark material, but ingeniously staged.
Armory is a beautiful venue too. Our seats were halfway up, and we clearly saw and heard everything going on in the glass box.
The only Rebeck I've seen is Seminar, and I loved that- so will probably see this. I also enjoyed Moritz's work on Hand to God and Present Laughter. Will be great to see McTeer live too

Kinky all the way for me- I found Matilda to be a real drag

It did give us some great Pennys with Diana Digarmo and Alexa Vega, but then gave us Beaver playing Wilbur. Roth seems to have very much perfected the stunt casting model with Kinky Boots. Unlike Hairspray, which has a large ensemble cast, Kinky Boots really only has 3 main
Well, I was the only person on this board to defend M. Butterfly and Present Laughter- and it looks like this show makes three.
I thought Lauren Ridloff was sensational. The way she commanded the stage without even saying a word was so impressive, and the few times she did express herself verbally were so powerful.
Joshua Jackson was a very good foil- he had great chemistry with Ridloff and a few powerful monologues.
Anthony Edwards was fine in a small role- he doesn'
Aladdin "Friend Like Me" and Something Rotten "A Musical"- they're both showstoppers live, but when chopped up for a Tony performance they just seemed disjointed
