Now I'm really confused because I don't know who White Twink is arguing with. Like Baritone said, this is entirely a semantics argument. It's all so silly, really. Can't we use the word "racism" in the way it originally, actually means without someone throwing a hissy fit anymore?



Worst Broadway Show of the Decade?  Dec 22 2019, 04:10:27 PM

VernonGersch said: "it wasn't on Broadway but...the Diana DeGarmo/Ace Young production of JOSEPH & THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAST was truly the worst thing I have ever seen."

Oh, yes. I almost blocked that out of my memory, but yes, that's the worst.



The Inheritance - Previews  Dec 22 2019, 12:11:29 PM

Levine's performance was a weird one for me. I thought his stilited performance as Adam was an interesting choice (and it was clearly a choice), and it gave the character a kind of quirky likability. But then when he played Leo he was still stilted and stiff, just in a slightly different way, so then I started thinking maybe he's just not a very good actor and was using artificial stiffness to cover up his natural stiffness.

Is that like the antithesis of “I don’t see color”? “I only see color.” Equally ridiculous.

ModernMillie3 said: "The point is that I/we (white people) have to acknowledge the history of oppression that was perpetuated by people who look like us against anyone who doesn’t and the system and ideology built around that. Prejudice, not racism, sums up simply not liking someone because they’re black/white/latinx/whatever pisses you off or is perceived as different from your “norm”.

Basically racism = prejudice + systemic inequality

The Inheritance - Previews  Dec 21 2019, 12:53:44 PM

Actually, I take it back. I think I had third row and it was fine (though I was looking up more than I would have liked). You might also get an actor crawling over you. Either way your seats are fine.

I see that there are also third row center orchestra tickets available for that show. Do you think it is worth switching from front mezz to Row C orchestra, or is that too close? Can you see all the way back from 3rd row, or should we stay front mezz?We saw Angels up close and loved being that close to the actors - not sure if it is as big a deal for this show to r

Not true.

Hork...are you implying CFA has no conflict?


Oh, no. I'm just saying it's very narration-driven like The Inheritance.

 



An Interesting Article about The Inheritance  Dec 13 2019, 01:22:52 PM
This article is dumb. The writer doesn’t seem to understand the power of oral storytelling at all. Not everything in theater has to be conflict. He probably hates Come from Away too.

Mary-Lousie Parker to lead THE SOUND INSIDE this fall  Nov 15 2019, 11:53:35 AM

The Inheritance - Previews  Nov 12 2019, 09:57:33 PM
I was also there on Sunday and thought it was incredible. If I could change anything about it, I would cut every use of the word “inheritance” from the script (yes, we get it, the title has multiple meanings, you don’t need to spell it out for us), but that’s a minor quibble in an otherwise entrancing experience. Six and a half hours and I was never bored (maybe a little fidgety during a couple scenes in the second part). This is the kind of ambitious and passionate work that is the reason I go

Is it a necessity for Carousel to physically show the Carousel?  Jan 13 2018, 11:30:43 AM

Musical Theater West's recent production had a carousel, using carousel horses on a revolving stage. It was the first time I'd seen any production and I just assumed they all did something similar. But I guess that's not the case.
