THE HUMANS Film starring Richard Jenkins, Jayne Houdyshell, Amy Schumer, Beanie Feldstein  Mar 14 2019, 03:11:08 PM

I know he directs many of his plays, but John Patrick Shanley's filming of Doubt was only the second film he directed, and his first effort in 18 years. Not only is it a faithful adaptation of the play, it's beautifully shot, and it's able to expand beyond the set of the Catholic School while retaining its intimate atmosphere. Having read all three of Karam's major plays that he has in print, his stage directions obviously show a knack for affecting imagery.

THE HUMANS Film starring Richard Jenkins, Jayne Houdyshell, Amy Schumer, Beanie Feldstein  Mar 13 2019, 05:31:20 PM

That's the thing, I don't know how well it would work if they expand it beyond the Thanksgiving Dinner, or set it outside the apartment. The thing that made The Humans special was how thoroughly it communicated the Blake's history, their secrets, and their fears in that one scene.

Also, if the one-take Birdman style doesn't happen, I would be interested to see how Karam would depict the conversations that happen simultaneously in di


THE HUMANS Film starring Richard Jenkins, Jayne Houdyshell, Amy Schumer, Beanie Feldstein  Mar 13 2019, 05:10:07 PM

Imagine if they did a thing like BIrdman, where they cheat it to look like one continuous take. That would be amazing.



Evan Hansen IS a sociopath  Mar 12 2019, 06:51:20 PM

'Sociopath' is described as having a lack of conscience. If Evan has no conscience, why would he confess in Words Fail? Why would he have a verse about the guilt driving him insane in Good For You?

BTW, the Venn Diagram of people who call Evan a sociopath and people who thought Great Comet was better is one circle.



Early Pulitzer Frontrunners  Mar 11 2019, 10:14:00 PM

Any new plays on the radar for the prize?

I haven't heard a lot, but Downstate is still my pick.



IN RESIDENCE at the Lunt Fontanne  Mar 11 2019, 12:48:49 PM

(stolen from a friend)

Morrissey will probably cancel the show when he finds out there's a hot dog cart down the street from the theatre.



Easier orchestration for high school  Mar 10 2019, 12:31:37 PM

Beauty and the Beast has a smaller orchestration package. Piano, Synth, Woodwinds, Trumpet, Horn, Violin, Cello, Bass and Percussion.

I don't know how large a cast you need, but The Fantasticks just needs a piano.



Be More Chill Orchestrations Drama  Mar 9 2019, 07:28:16 PM

I just realized: Michael Chorney co-orchestrated the music for Hadestown and played guitar in the band. Does this rule also cover Off-Broadway shows?

One set shouldn't be a deal-breaker. Shakespeare was originally performed on a bare stage.



REVIEW: The Evolution of Mann: Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording  Mar 2 2019, 01:09:39 PM

The acoustic guitar/piano instrumentation and lyric structure reminds me a lot of "Next Thing You Know", another show I like but don't think is spectacular. There's a really interesting post-JRB sound coming onto off-Broadway with this quirky pop-rock vibe. It includes this show, Salzmann and Cunningham, and arguably Pasek and Paul.



REVIEW: The Evolution of Mann: Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording  Mar 2 2019, 01:01:35 PM

I just got a chance to listen to the cast recording. The plot is dumb and the characters cliche, but I like the music. It's nothing groundbreaking, but "What's the Matter with Henry" has an interesting melody, "The Right Time to Propose" has a really catchy jazz waltz vibe, and "The Tale of The Otter" has some clever lyrics. I'll probably put it on Spotify while I'm working



true west - spoiler alert  Feb 20 2019, 12:51:04 PM

One of the most striking things about Sam Shepard's plays, especially True West, is the blurring of realism and surrealism. In Buried Child, True West, and Fool for Love, to name a few, the setting and dialogue are very realistic, but the characters and the plot are always a little off. It's almost as if actors from a surreal world are putting on a realism play. That's why the last two answers (that they're in their Mom&#

Joe Iconis Profile in NYT  Feb 20 2019, 12:45:07 PM

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/20/theater/joe-iconis-be-more-chill-broadway.html

Anyone read this yet?

Whether you're a fan of BMC or not, you have to appreciate Joe Iconis' work ethic, and his loyalty to performers.

I'm a young writer myself, and I remember how 2 years ago, if you wanted sheet music to his songs, you had to write to his persona


Gloria  Feb 19 2019, 09:01:20 AM

I agree with Steppenwolf to an extent. While most plays don't need trigger warnings, and extraneous ones go to oversensitize the audience, things like gunplay and workplace violence, especially now, should have very clear content warnings.



Gloria  Feb 18 2019, 10:39:32 PM

Synecdoche2 said: "LightsOut90 said: "Synecdoche2 said: "Branden Jacobs-Jenkins is a talented writer and no doubtGloriahas much to say of interest, but the choice to show the Act One finale on stage is absolutely morally reprehensible."

sorry that real life horror is too much for you.

I have survived a shooting before.

That's horrible, and I'm sorry that happened to you.

Which Play/Muscial do you want revived next season?  Feb 18 2019, 02:28:59 PM

Weird fever-dream wish of mine:

BIG FISH, John Doyle-Actor-musician style



Gloria  Feb 17 2019, 06:21:09 PM

"Appropriate" and "Gloria" are two of my favorite plays, both by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins. 2016 has to be one of the closest Pulitzer races ever, between "Gloria", "The Humans", and "Hamilton".

Regarding the issues ggersten brought up regarding my misogyny, here's my two cents.

THE CAKE - Manhattan Theatre Club  Feb 14 2019, 04:52:05 PM

I was in a play by Bekah Brunstetter a year ago, so this has been on my radar. Glad to see it's getting good reviews!
