I saw last night's performance. The full cast was present and the show went off without a hitch, so I assume whatever caused both Saturday performances to be cancelled was a fluke.
Those who've seen previous work by Jackie Sibblies Drury will not be surprised by the style and tone of the piece, which is very discursive, not strictly narrative and often deliberately anachronistic. The play's theme is the role of women (and especially women of color) as caregivers throughout
Curious to hear some thoughts about the play and production. Thanks.

The show opens on 3/14 and they are probably holding further discounts until they can determine what the demand will be post-opening.

A physical injury or vocal rest would both not affect one's social media usage, and are common reasons people are out of show without warning."
Sometimes actors reduce their social media profile when they're going to be out of a show f
Is he shooting a film or television series? He’s almost constantly tweeting not that thats an indication of anything, but he doesnt seem seriously ill from the way he presents himself on social media. Its just kind of odd that the above-the-title star of a Broadway production would disappear from the show for weeks with no announcement.

Dove was out at the matinee today as well (I was seeing FABULATION and noticed a sign up at the Signature).

Atim would be great, but either way, they should recast Marianne if it moves to Broadway. Kimber Sprawl is the weak link in the cast. She's fine as a singer but her acting leaves much to be desired.
I saw the U.S. premiere at the Wilma Theater in Philadelphia. I found the play entertaining, if slight. As Synecdoche2 suggests, this is not overly cerebral Stoppard -- and there are pluses and minuses to that. The Wilma production was weird: a ton of white walls and blinding light cues, and a live jazz musician onstage improvising during scene changes which added nothing to the play. But the acting was good there, and I'd say the play is still worth seeing, especially if you like Stoppar
Radcliffe has never missed a performance of any show he's ever done in New York, period. He's extremely dedicated. Unless he's on death's door, it's a safe assumption he'll be there.
I assume that, in the future, regional theaters will have the option to present the plays separately (as they have been done before). Even without a dinner, staging them together in one night seems like a large undertaking.

I will say that her acting direction is sublime and, to me, that's really what's most important. The design, however, is deeply flawed, and pretty ugly, but you only worry about that for like 10 seconds and then you focus in on the phenomenal performances."
It's not the job of a director to create a fully integrated prod

Sounds like it is time for you to consider (1) reading a few more reviews,(2) broadening your group of friends, and (3) seeing more shows (because if you thought this was "dreadful" yo
I saw a regional production of this a few years ago and found it pretty weak. I guess they're trying to cash in on Hnath's name now that A DOLL'S HOUSE, PART 2 is so hot. Even with Laurie, I doubt I'd sit through it again.
