Laura Collins Hughes attempting, inarticulately, to justify her vile body shaming on Twitter is the perfect illustration that SHE is not worthy to be writing at The Times. Also, did she update her review at all?
Hands down THE best production I've ever seen at ART - and that says a lot considering I enjoyed WAITRESS, FINDING NEVERLAND, PIPPIN, WITNESS UGANDA and to a lesser extent PORGY & BESS (not my jam music wise)
This show is vital, important, cathartic and contains some of the best performances I've ever witnessed. Elizabeth Stanley is outstanding as is Lauren Patton - who brings the house down. The direction is flawless and once it moves to Broadway I can't wa
really looking forward to seeing this - obviously its opening in the summer and my expectations are in check but...how is the front row Mezz at the Laura Pels? I've only sat in the Orchestra?

I love theater, i love theater so much that i will travel for theater...however life is short, too short. i have walked out of the following shows at intermission:
Matilda
The Last Ship
Long Day's Journey Into Night -Jessica Lang
Significant Other - LA production. That lead actor was awful
Sound Of Music - LA Tour
The Bodyguard - LA Tour (it was a fun first act but I got the point)
I'd say MAME is one of if not my favorite musical of all time - although I have never seen it live on stage (saw summer camp version and of course the Lucy Ball film - and Auntie Mame is one of the best films of all time)
I wish this production - starring Paige Davis - was playing for longer or touring in the Summer Stock world. Seems like a huge undertaking and production to be playing for such a short stint.
PLEASE WRITE IN WITH YOUR THOUGHTS if anyone happens to be
Anyone else find it odd that Diane isn't directing a major production for this upcoming season? What she IS directing sounds like a review....odd
I will say that I've heard great buzz about BARBERSHOP CHRONICLES when I was over in London - that looks like the show to see. The rest of the season, errr not so much.
Extraordinary: A Celebration of Music Theater at A.R.T.
Really looking forward to seeing INDECENT, PLAY THAT GOES WRONG and FALSETTOS (already saw DEAR EVAN HANSEN off Broadway and COME FROM AWAY on Broadway ) and already have tickets to see AINT TOO PROUD TO BEG
I don't think I am actually going to subscribe and just opt for getting tickets week of - so I can still get good seats
Center Theater Group use to be able to let you pick a certain number of shows to become a subscriber - they didn't offer
