to bad SWEAT at the Mark Taper Forum had already closed because that was an exceptional piece of theater and a phenomenal production.

Michael Arden is directing a version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL at the Geffen - that might be worth exploring 

sadly, i hear that reprise has bit the dust.  i think the location (and that theater) at UCLA didn't help.  

Having seen the show at ART - I will say that this BELONGS on Broadway. An excellent show - maybe with a slight tweak to the book - but an excellent moving production.

I would love to have the chance to see this - TPOS was the first Broadway tour I ever saw - and loved every minute of it.  Victor Garber was in it.

i did see a version of the show at Reprise in LA years ago

D'oh - not sure how I missed that on the website.  Thank you for pointing it out

Would this be a first for Stepenwolf to already have a London run slated (or because this is a co-production does that term seem worded incorrectly?)

 

 

Had the privilege of seeing the production of SWEAT at the Taper in LA last week and was blown away by not only the play itself but by the entire production, direction and one of the best ensembles I've ever seen on stage.  

If you are even remotely close to Los Angeles, check this play out.  

Certainly can see why it won the Pulitzer 

Haven't read too much about this show - huge fan of Bruce Norris but can't seem to find any buzz on this World Premiere

Also, I heard that the production was moving to National Theatre in London in 2019 but haven't read that - anyone know anything?

Curious to see what Bruce and Pam have up their respective sleeves

 

loved the show.   so much fun, so much energy and a wonderful message with some star making turns.  a must see.

Fairly certain I saw the first preview of the show, ever, up in Toronto.

The show was a horrid mess - terribly written, camp without a knowing wink and horribly directed.  It was so much fun watching this hot mess of a play.

The theater was filled with their alta kaka subscription base who I don't think appreciated the sheer awfulness of the entire thing

Pretty certain there were times we were the only people laughing at the theater.

Spectacular.  I LOVED this show.

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? 

MAME

BARNUM - saw the Meniere Chocolate Factory in London - something intimate like that would work - the show was a ton of fun

going later on in the week - super curious amongst other things is that seating situation.   Curious what songs are being used  

cannot wait 

The Ferryman for sure.

I wish I got the chance to see The Girl From North Country

those would be my suggestions  

Ive seen more theater in London than I have in NYC this year

loved this when i saw it in SF

highly recommended  

how is it?

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?

and its looking super sold out already even before reviews have hit.  is this because its a subscription house?
