Terry Gross (the interviewer) is one of the best interviewers out there and is always very respectful. Knowing that Driver had a sensitivity to hearing himself, she DID gave him a "heads up" and told him he should remove his headph
Saw this on big stage at Williamstown this past summer and was extremely disappointed - so looking forward to hearing of vast improvements. That production was not reviewed, I assume acknowledging the need for significant further development and/or not to put the critical kibosh on the Broadway production. I hope for everyone’s sake they made a lot changes --as in tear-down-and-build-it-back-up-from-the-studs-type changes.
Will say that the cast I saw it with, Jo Beth Williams, J

It was at the $95 price level, but I'm willing to take one at any price and pay the difference if it's more. Ideally a Wednesday night, Friday, Saturday or Sunday performance but I'm flexible"

I was watching the May 22, 2018 7:30PM show at the A.R.T and from posts here and reviews coming in not much has changed in the Broadway iteration. I w

I think praise for Lauren Patten will be qualified in any honest professional critique of the show. Sure she belted "You Oughta Know" quite forcefully, but it was b
FYI, checking the A.R.T. website this morning, there seems to be one seat left at about seven performances, some partial view, some at top price of $125 so a solo attendee could still nab something if they acted quickly.
I agree with haterobics that she'll not get much of it, but I reach the opposite conclusion in that I honestly don't think it is for a seven year old. It is an hour and 40 minutes long without intermission and I don't think the "marching band" aspect will wear well for that period of time for a child that age. At least "Kinky Boots" had an accessible narrative and some simplistic music she could latch onto to engage her. "American Utop
Wowza. This alert from A.O. Scott's review of "Marriage Story" yesterday in the New York Times. .
"We sometimes see those two [Driver and Johansson characters] at work — there are some delicious tidbits of backstage comedy, in both New York and Los Angeles — but rarely onstage. There are two important exceptions, moments of theater that use borrowed words and self-conscious artifice to deliver strong doses of unadorned feeling. Both involve songs from Ste

The dynamic pricing might well be, but I also note that they also released more $25.00 seats once they finalized the seating plan. I ordered seats the day after they went on sale to general public (Oct. 4) before seating was assigned and believe I got th
I always thought if Buddy Cianci didn't exist David Mamet would have invented him. Because of this thread, I was curious to see if the two ever crossed paths, especially since Mamet lived in the Boston area for a period of time when Buddy would have been serving one of his terms as mayor. Low and behold I came across this never realized film project--Mamet's source material was to be the same book that the play is based on. Prince of Providence- NY? Oct 21

Have not seen this and hope to get down to Providence to do so (if I win the lottery), but my general (not original) observation is that well-structured dramas with finely wrought characters that are true to a very specific time, place, and person, that few might know are often best at emitting universal truths. Good or great plays frequently transport us into worlds we are completely unfamiliar with and their success lies in that world still resonating with the audience despite the singulari

I have listened to the album a few times. Not something I would play a lot but I like it and I like him. I keep thinking that it would really sound good, oreven better, live"
For clarification, the show contains song other than those on the 'American Utopia" album that released in Marc
I do the Boston to NYC trip frequently for matinees. I don't use the bus, most frequently travel by train. I live in the Boston suburbs so I use the Rte 128/Westwood station. For me is so much easier than going downtown to South Station. It is a breeze to get in and out of and parking is always plentiful. On weekends, you can park really close to (literally within steps of) the station's entrance I've driven into that parking lot literally 5 minutes before the train wa
Saw this in Boston and absolutely loved it. I am not a rabid Talking Heads fan but certainly have always have enjoyed their music (and loved the seminal Stop Making Sense concert film) so even those only minimally aware of his music through his most popular songs (I think) will enjoy this as long as one remembers that 1) this is not a traditional concert and 2) Byrne is an idiosyncratic performance artist at heart and, artistically, is in his head a lot. That being said, the show

Even before that it needs some work. The second act is long and meandering. Analisa Velez and John Scurti are both terrific!"
I agree with you. Though enjoyable, for me, in parts, I was more disappointing given the love letters it received by the local critics
For those of you interested in an ever so brief sneak peak/hint of what Jones will be like as Diana she joined Aaron Tveit and Jennifer Damiano on "Super Boy and the Invisible Girl" as part of the NYT TimesTalks honoring Michael Greif in October 2016, right before DEH opened on Broadway. The entire Talk (about 1 hour 15 minutes) is well worth listening to with a lot of great reflections by Greif (and in addition to the aforementioned, Ben Platt, Adam Chanler-Berat,
For all of you taking a deep dive into the cast recording, the below links to an Interesting NEW YORKER article on Baz Luhrmann's involvement as the recording's producer, especially in describing his coaxing performances from Tveit and Olivo in their joint numbers. So implicit, tt seems, is his desire to greatly improve upon the performances he inherited from Timbers. A bit of a subtle burn, I thought. After the recording, I wonder if Tveit and Olivo then went back to the
