There was a merchandise kiosk/stand when I went a few weeks ago. I can't remember specifically, but there were magnets, posters, mugs, and apparel with and without quotations from the show/book. I remember being struck by not seeing the actual Harper Lee novel (or maybe I just missed it). They were selling a biography called "Atticus Finch".

Of course I never saw Tonya, but I really think Sharon is giving one of those rare iconic performances like Alice Ripley in N2N, Ebersole in Grey Gardensetc.
I almost broke down when she sung these lyrics (copied/pasted from online so can't vouch for accuracy):
Wick3 said: "If time is no issue, then I'd see it with the current cast. I think part of what makes the play works is the chemistry amongthe cast members and I understand at times it just clicks but for the most part it's something that develops over time. My 2 cents."
Agree with this sentiment. One of the striking things is how how the actors feel like a family, an overall comfort level with each other that is portrayed on stage. Laura Donnelly/Rob
Everything happens so fast in that last scene, but I wanted to clarify: Muldoon kills Shane? Or is that more in the sense that Muldoon murders Shane's innocence? I honestly just don't remember.
LarryD2 said: "I am not one for essentialism, but it does seem odd and wrong that the critical record for this play, which is so grounded in Black experience, has been written by almost exclusively white critics."
Not to open a can of worms, but this sentiment sadly mirrors the struggle of non-white America/USA.
I'd be interested to see whether Hilton Als reviews CB in an upcoming issue. It doesn't seem like he liked the previ
Finally had the opportunity to see this last evening. I've been reflecting, and my lingering impression is positive. It overall has an Iceman Cometh-with-music feel. The performances are the selling point, as many have mentioned. Mare Winningham is a treasure. I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I thought, "Who is this Mare Winningham and why does she look so familiar??" Not surprisingly, her list of accolades is not small. I loved Todd Almond's big sc
FYI, saw that several tickets went on sale for this weekend and December 7th via Public's website. Looks like 12/1 evening show still has some tickets. I snagged one for next Friday!
Caroline, or Change. A show too early for its time perhaps. Soaring melodies/lyrics with a tragic yet hopeful book. Revived in the today's political environment, perhaps it would resonate with theatregoers.
Kind of random, but do you two hear moans from the people behind you? At 5'10, I'm anxious when getting to my seat about the people behind me. I probably should just get over it. I've had plenty of tall people in front of me. 1st world problems :)
I'm going to piggyback on this. I'm coming to NYC for a weekend next month. We already have tickets to see Network for Sat evening.
For Friday night, I was thinking I'd probably see Ferryman, but I was also thinking of snagging a Girl From North Country on Stubhub. I'm leaning Ferryman with these rumors of a Kerr transfer. For Sunday, I was thinking Lifespan of a Fact evening show prior to a 10pm dinner. I think it'd be too much to see a 3pm play prior to this

I'm 5'10 and haven't had problems with center orchestra.
The cuts in the bench scene are jarring. I didn't hear Billy say, "You're a funny kid" nor the beautiful music and dialogue after Julie finishes singing "If I Loved You" ("Anyways you don't love me...". These are what, 30 seconds, and were in the show. Wish they would have left them.
Still, the recording is gorgeous 3 tracks in. I love hearing those small deta
