Part I is brilliant, but it is only have a show. If you're not planning on returning to NCY anytime soon, you could buy the script in the lobby and read Part II on the way home.

You wrote this so that I wouldn't have to. We left at intermission.
gregnyc2 said: "In retrospect, Im guessing it was the luckiest career move ever for Julie Andrews that she wasnt cast? This studio production, so thick and lifeless."
I agree the movie is a bit of a bore -- I find the last half hour or so interminable. I don't think the quality of the movie itself would have damaged her career as it was one of the biggest box office hits of the year. However, it might have prevented her from being in Mary Poppins and The Sound o

Since you asked: No. I'd rather hear my favorite artist. Save your sing-a-alongs for home (unless an event is specifically advertised as such).

It absolutely ruined the show for me. I wanted Othello to go after her next. Some behavior is notjust disruptive, but flagrant disrespect towards everyone else in the audience and onstage."
Did anyone closer to her do or say anything? I find the passiveness of people near the rude behavior almost

I really liked it apart from Sophie, I don't get why it gets so much hate."
My reaction to The Crucible was not so much hate (in fact I persuaded a number of people to go see it), but disappointment, coming on the heels of "View from the Bridge," w
I guess we can expect the tricycle scene to start inside the theater, then go out the stage door and videotaped around the block before re-entering and encountering the twins who are still at their makeup tables off to the side of the stage.
I was blown away by "A View from the Bridge," and saw it twice, but less and less impressed with each production that followed:
"The Crucible" -- interesting but not powerful enough "Network" -- tolera
Last spring, I saw "Everybody's Talking About Jamie," a show that a lot of people like and even love. My husband and I hated it so much that we fled the theatre at intermission. The actors seemed totally unengaged, full of trite and stale acting choices, running through dialog at neck-break speed, with song lyrics completely unintelligible ( I realize that's partly the regional accents they were affecting). I blamed it on the replacement company not being worthy of the revie

That entire ending didn't impact me the way I was expecting it to. I think it took so long to pull off that much of the initial tension dissipated before it was all over, and I could see it being far more effective in a smaller space. Also, it seemed that far too
I think there would be less of a tendency to evaluate one part against the other if you see both on the same day. That's what I did and it just felt like one extraordinary epic play. And I couldn't wait to return to the theater after the dinner break.
Did Prince ever try to explain (or someone for him) why the movie version of "A Little Night Music" went so horribly wrong? So many bad choices. Although I haven't seen it in a while, I remember the all-but-forgotten "Something for Everyone," his only other movie, being quite good and well received. Too bad it has disappeared.
That Instagram post, though. Seems a bit defensive and over-the-top. And is flaunting one's Christian values a Christian value? Or is going public with a vindictive little rant about a colleague "always keeping it classy"?
Of course they were political. It's not like she's touring the country in "South Pacific" and feels the need to explain "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught." Go, Betty!
VintageSnarker said: "Most of the actors delivered what I'd expected but I've never seen Jin Ha in anything and he was the standout for me. I wish there was more of his singing recorded out in the world. I feel like he'd sound particularly good with something lush and romantic like R&H. The other leads brought a lot of intensity but it was almost wasted on their characters."
Big Apple2 said: "dangeresque49 said: "Love it or hate it just like the movie."
Yes. The film was a love it or hate it spectacle with its visual feast. There is no questionthat itwas polarizing. Good. Ihave a feeling that I will lovethis one."
Anyone who hated the movie but loved the show please speak up and tell us why. I'm desperate for some assurance that I didn't make a horrible mistake buying tickets.
Where are all the Tom Sturridge fans? While neither play totally captivated me (yes, they were thoroughly depressing, but so is watching the news), I thought Sturridge gave an incredibly moving performance, and I would choose him as the evening's MVP. I know he hasn't done much Shakespeare, but for some reason I left the theater wanting to see what he would do with Hamlet.
