Early Pulitzer Frontrunners  Mar 12 2019, 12:02:26 AM

I've read Downstate. It's...Bruce Norris' best play, so if you can can stomach his writing (which I cannot) you'll love it.



Hillary and Clinton reviews?  Mar 10 2019, 11:28:00 AM

UncleCharlie said: "LightsOut90 said: "its apparently been substantly rewritten."

New surprise ending... she wakes up from a really bad dream that Trump won the electoral college, gets dressed and goes off to her inauguration.
"

The play is about the 2008 election, not the 2016 one.



King Lear  Mar 9 2019, 12:20:44 PM

JayElle said: "A dumb question perhaps,but do they speakShakespeare verbatimor modernize the language? I never liked Shakespeare decades ago in school bc I found it difficult to read. Just wondered."

They definitely are not modernizing the language–otherwise, it ain't Shakespeare.



King Lear  Mar 7 2019, 02:55:44 PM

Recently, Gold has become a bit obsessed with having a 'signature style' (doubtless because directors' theatre is all the rage right now) and it has not done him any favors. 



KING LEAR Previews  Mar 1 2019, 10:33:43 AM

Gold's Hamlet was hardly as radical as it thought it was.



DADDY previews (New Group/Vineyard co production at Signature)  Feb 25 2019, 12:48:19 AM

whatdoesntkillme said: "Can someone explain the logistics of a co pro like this—between two NYC theaters but performed at a third rented house? I’m only familiar with co pros between regional theaters in different cities. How does it work in terms of splitting resources? Or is it purely financial? Any insight would be appreciated!"

The New Group does not have a home, so they often perform at the Pershing Square center. Plus, the Vineyard Theatre could nev


Glenda Jackson to Return to Broadway in KING LEAR, Spring 2019  Feb 19 2019, 02:45:08 PM

The major roles are already filled...is he replacing someone?

sorry that real life horror is too much for you.

I have survived a shooting before.



Gloria  Feb 17 2019, 10:22:41 PM

Branden Jacobs-Jenkins is a talented writer and no doubt Gloria has much to say of interest, but the choice to show the Act One finale on stage is absolutely morally reprehensible.



is after anatevka canon ?  Feb 14 2019, 11:26:25 AM

Canon to whom? Sholem Aleichem? 



Boesman and Lena  Feb 5 2019, 11:50:31 PM

To those interested in seeing this, it's strictly for Fugard fans. Slow-moving and without much action, it's mostly a tone piece that comments on the ramifications of Apartheid on individuals' psychologies. There is some interesting dialogue and it mostly holds the attention for the 2-hour (intermission-less) runtime, but it's never exceptional. Perhaps a different director could find a more life-filled production.



Who is the phantom?  Jan 23 2019, 07:49:31 PM
Okay Im at Phantom and the playbill is totally incoherent. Who is playing the Phantom. Depending on where you look in the playbill, its listed as Laird MacKintosh, Jeremy Stolle, and Ben Crawford.

Paradise Square  Jan 2 2019, 03:33:29 PM

Extremely ambitious and ultimately successful, though the first act needs some serious work. One of the few musicals I've seen that doesn't take too long to end.



What's Next for the Hudson?  Nov 26 2018, 03:37:38 PM

JSquared2 said: "Synecdoche2 said: "nobody has gotten it right yet."



Yes, someone has gotten it right --- unfortunately that person isn't you.


"

huh, whaddaya know. I got the Kerr and the Hudson mixed up. Carry on.



What's Next for the Hudson?  Nov 26 2018, 02:21:18 PM

nobody has gotten it right yet.



THE CHER SHOW Previews  Nov 15 2018, 11:44:05 PM

Sadly a dud. Sure, the book is sloppy, the dialogue embarrassing, and the cast seemingly on Ambien, but the show really has two fatal flaws

1. For some reason, it's unendingly heterosexual. Why is it so difficult to make a Cher musical gay?

2. The show has no perspective on Cher as legend. The show seemingly wants the audience to feel a sense of connection with the legend, but Cher's mythos has always been effective because of how ephemeral and unreach


DOWNSTAIRS @ Cherry Lane  Nov 15 2018, 01:33:32 PM

Her plays are unbearably awful without exception. I sympathize with your misfortune.



Early Pulitzer Frontrunners  Nov 13 2018, 06:15:20 PM

Pass Over definitely will be a contender. Perhaps The Revolving Cycles too? If the committee had any sense, Mlima's Tale, Is God Is, Miles for Mary, and Emma and Max would be major contenders as well.



Early Pulitzer Frontrunners  Nov 13 2018, 04:50:58 PM

I heard from a friend that he was certain the three Pulitzer frontrunners were The Niceties, What the Constitution Means to Me, and the upcoming Slaveplay at New York Theatre Workshop, which seemed like an odd list, but I didn't have too many titles that seemed like Pulitzer bait to refute. Can anybody think of any other plays that seem destined to be nominated for that increasingly dubious award? Dance Nation is probably the only c
