I know it's a weird choice but I think it's got a solid soundtrack! Not sure how they'd manage the talking cats but y'know."

The new musical features book &lyrics by Robert L. Freedman and music by Scott Frankel, and is directed by Darko Tresnjak.
There is no way to overstate the absolute perfect performance that Stockard Channing brought to Six Degrees of Separation. I saw it 3 times, and in my 40+ years of theatre going it still stands as the greatest performance by an actress on stage that I have ever had the pleasure to watch.
"Is ONCE ON THIS ISLAND touring, or is it a one-time deal at the Ahmanson? If it is touring, why should it play the Taper"?
It should play the Taper because of the intimacy that space provides. The Ahmanson seats 2000 and is too large for this production. The mezzanine in the Ahmanson is so far from the stage, you'd think you were in the balcony. Unless you are on a very severe budget, Ahmanson balcony seats are NOT good.
While I do not agree that CTG's customer service is bad, sans the nasty House Manger at the Ahmanson, I do agree that the new Ahmanson season is plain awful.
The inclusion of two one man shows that should be playing the Taper is ludicrous. I can understand LATIN HISTORY FOR MORONS as it's from Berkeley Rep and has a true stage star, but THE NEW ONE is mediocre at best, and had a very dubious move to Broadway, IMHO.
ONCE ON THIS ISLAND being as immersive as the NYC stagin
