I've seen the drawing (meaning the man, but without the Sweeney Todd embellishments) in other media, but I don't think I've ever seen the actual original woodcut.
Without either a big name or becoming a West End starmaking sensation, the only way it would transfer would be via a nonprofit- either Roundabout or, now, 2nd Stage.
I was at Marie's all the time when I moved to the city as a college student ten years ago. I never experienced the rudeness described here. It's definitely a dive, and service is definitely brusque, but never hostile or discriminatory. I had many fantastic nights there and closed the bar down more times than I can recall.
As the place got more recognition thanks to celebrity appearances and write-ups and more straight tourist gawkers came on weekends, the vibe has chan
DidHeLikeIt is a simpler story. There was a website called StageGrade, essentially Metacritic for theatre (and a more streamlined and better curated version of Show-Score). It was the best site for seeing critic reviews and consensus for New York theatre. Davenport acquired the site when the partner company could no longer host it, and, when the site crashed, did not fix it and, rather, had the url reroute to his own site, DidHeLikeIt (which it still does).
The tl;dr version is that just before the Tonys, a Kickstarter was created- ostensibly by Deaf West- in order to fund their Tony performance, with a cutoff date the night before the awards, with the implication that without the funding, th

That being said, nothing about the film "sings" to me.

Nobody on here can give a full account and it doesn't seem like either party is able to, either. I have heard it was a case of conflicting visions for the show moving forward and an unwillingness to compromise.
I imagine that Ed Iskandar, who was a friend of Whitty's, being fired from the Oregon Shakespeare production and helped develop the show d
ScottyDoesn'tKnow2 said: "I definitely read that as the actor being "ingratiatingly incompetent" since those adjectives were used to describe the actor not the character he was playing."
I'm seeing it along the lines of something like "charmingly daffy" or "hilariously bumbling."
That one I don't think is cruel- I had read it as describing Durand's character as incompetent (I'm not sure how anyone could describe Durand's performance itself as incompetent).
I'm surprised Brantley didn't follow the example of the loathsome Terry Teachout and trot out the actual most overused words of the decade: identity politics.

What an unnecessary comment. I thought you’d retired your nonsense.
