Slave Play is fully a part of a system that is consuming and profiting off of black bodies and black identity,” Harris told the New York Times earlier this year. “The play does not allow you to escape ....
Please Dear God- not another one of those. Was mildly interested, but.......
Question- If I book a 6 PM show on a Thursday- and it is only 70 or so minutes long- do I have time to book a 7:30 show on the same night- would love to do a double header- but I guess it would have to be something close to the ART theater- any suggestions if tis is even a possibility? Going to London soon and would love to book 2 shows for a Thursday.
In London, Adrienne Warren did not win the Olivier Award for Best Musical Female Performance- Sharon Clarke from Caroline Or Chanage did. Could be a real knock down drag out at the Tony's- Adrienne was simply incredible as Tina- have rarely seen such a star performance- can she be overlooked again?

The Inheritance- for sure. Birthday Candles because I love Debra Messing- Caroline Or Change- it closed in London early- had to get a refund on my tickets- never saw it- Music Man.
Fiddler On The Roof in Yiddish with subtitles is what I would see next if I had to buy my tickets for October again- I have Hadestown, Moulin Rouge and Tootsie- but would have loved to see Fiddler instead. I hope Tootsie is good- or maybe it will close by then and i will see Fiddler instead- probably a better choice anyway.
Oh, please- who doesn't fight horribly with their hubby from time to time?- they might be a very happy couple- and really love and respect each other- but are having a few meltdowns over a few issues with the show- not necessarily any type of deal breaker or major marital fiasco.
Count me in as not a fan of Ivo- did not like A View From The Bridge- found the unnecessary drumbeats to heighten suspense- or whatever it was supposed to do- very distracting and completely ineffective- absolutely hated what he did with All About Eve in London- with the unnecessary video additions- which added nothing- and the wooden characterizations- I hope he does not ruin WSS.
Saw Fun Home at Circle In The Square- had very close orchestra seats on the side- which were awful. They did not state that there was a partial view- but because of the staging, characters were continually blocked - hated this seats-and actually do not like that theater- have seen a few in the round productions- and if not staged really carefully, in the round can be not great.
Yes- that was excellent- I love Bernadette- and her singing, though mannered, is always, for me, always draws me in- I guess it is the emotion she conveys with each song- acting out the song with everything she has- her voice- like Liza or Verdon or so many- is not a technically pristine instrument- but she is a very talented actress and singer and she can get a song across, Love her.
Really enjoyed reading your message- I am seeing the show in October- and I bet I will agree with you- I am a lifelong very liberal Democrat- but this WOKE stuff is not for me.
A one act- 75 minute show- and paying top of the line prices to see it- seems like a stretch to me. I do understand it is about quality and not quantity- always is- but I do wish the show was adding additional songs.
Thank you for that- just got second row center based on your suggestion- I do hope Vanessa Redgrave is in it- but if not, I am sure someone really good will be cast. Seeing it on a Sunday- all in one day.
Could be like Wicked- where critics did not universally love it- but audiences did. I guess if word of mouth was very strong and positive- it will defy the mixed critical reception. But, Wicked was a family show- and appealed to a sider swath of the population.
Wonder if these ticket prices - along with not the greatest reviews- will translate into a big hit- a la Wicked?- or be just a moderate draw and last not nearly as long as we might have thought.
