I saw this yesterday. I went in skeptical. Found an amazing discount code yesterday ($50 5th row orchestra center? Yes and baffling) Im almost 33. I also got a but eh when Ken D came out to hype up a crowd that honestly already seemed hyped.
First act was weak. I really didn't find the show fun until maybe 30 minutes in. The main character is a bore. The other characters are very solid but take time to get going.
Top of Act 2, the show clicks and doesn't stop for the rest of th
Saw this tonight from second row center. It was their second show with Sean. Thet said he may ask for line and will possibly be walking around with the script. He did. First act he maybe looked down twice. Second act was more.
But it didnt matter, the show as a whole was lovely and swept you up. Ive read this show several times and really loved the journey and the performances by Angel and Lucius are fantastic. Another amazing show from Signature theatre
The performances are solid, the edit is perfect length, the set is really cool (kind of looked like the DC Metro at certain times). The Trump stuff, if massaged, may be ok at best. But it needs a good massage.
Although Calpurnia's monologue works as Melania, shockingly well
As someone who has done the live lottery over 30 times (and accidently became a pundit about it, I swear that is not a joke) it sounds like it was like December over at the RRT, in the holidays it just wrapped soo much it got stuck in times sq. Recently the line was as small as probably 900 people (barely considered small) but I prefer the in person compared to the digital.
It's a tricky line. I missed the explosion during intermission so I just heard the random screaming and crying. I actually thought the laughter felt genuine in that weird cathartic way. Granted as an audience certain things should be upheld.
I am shocked I was able to enjoy act 4 with that weird reaching noise she made that convinced me I was going to be puked on for a good time minutes.
I was at that show (possibly next to you. I was rear mezz row E). I posted about this that night. Was in bathroom line dusing intermission so missed that.
Saw Blackbird today, loved it. Have read the script many times since college when it came out. Noticed something weird today:
Were there no lights in the theatre to light the stage? Was every light practical (except the spotlight during her monologue). I was in a weird spot in the orchestra where i was under the mezz overhang and couldn't see any lights anywhere except the stage. I sound like I never seen theatre before. Just was cool how i
I'm happy you liked American Psycho and Brit Star (2 very underrated musicals) and not to start anything I don't fully understand your criticism for Dear Evan Hansen. Seems like it just didn't click? Never seen the show. appreciate the reviews
The thing is this person was clearly devastated from either the play or something in her personal life as her friend kept trying to console her. It made for a very awkward last hour in a relatively quiet play
Saw the show yesterday. Really enjoyed it a lot. Thought they needed a second intermission (between 3 and 4) but that's not the reason I'm posting today.
Yesterday, there was a woman behind me that at the top of act 4 was cackling in the "funny part" (it is funny but not to chortle/snort level). She cackled for the first 10 minutes of the act. I figured sure, she's enjoying the show. Cool. Then a few minutes later I hear her crying softly. And then in t
I saw this last week. I enjoyed it but I tend to like weird stuff. These plays are weird (especially Drowning and Funnyhouse). All are well done and we'll acted and make an interesting night of theatre. Was familiar with the Sandbox but never seen it staged ( that play is also 15 minutes long). The other 2 not so much (vaguely remember Funnyhouse from reading it in college and Drowning I never heard of and was floored by it in this production.)
I saw it on a trip to NYC with my mom in college. It was the last show we saw on the trip and the one that had the strongest effect on us. I didn't think he was guilty in the play but in the movie he felt guilty. Cherry Jones was so incredible in the play and felt so driven in a crazed way that it felt like she just was having a crazy ax to grind.
In truth there are no answers to this question for the boards as the only 2 people that know are Brian F/ O
Hey I have a ticket for LDJ next Wednesday and unfortunately cannot make it and it is a hiptix ticket. I would like to see it too on another day anyone want to do a ticket exchange?
