I have no idea why they are even performing this in Sydney. But it's mind-blowing. I'm shocked they are even here.

I suppose AUGUST is so 2-years ago for you guys though :P.

I'm guessing other plays aren't this funny/moving/heartbreaking?

"Rose in Gypsy was like going through therapy for me. Playing Rose helped me put a lot of emotions to bed. There was so much lacking in Rose and that's why she had to prove herself through her children. [interviewer]In ways that reminded you of your mom?[/interviewer]. Let's just say the role was very interesting for me. That one was the most interesting [I've ever played]" - Bernadette Peters (2018)

Why are you shocked that they're performing it in Sydney?

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

I didn't see Deanna Dunagan (saw Estelle Parsons instead who was simply brilliant in every way), but I very much remember seeing AUGUST: OC for the first time with that amazing cast, especially Amy Morton who gave what I thought was an epic performance as Barbara. Glad you got to see it and enjoy it, it may have been a few years ago, but I've never forgotten the experience!

August: Osage County is the only evening of theater that I have ever had that was actually worth the $120 I paid for my ticket. I read the play and loved it. Then I saw it and loved it even more.

I wish I had seen Dunagan though. Amy Morton was incredible, and if Dunagan beat her to the Tony I can only imagine how good she was. I saw Estelle Parsons, who was very good, just not the way I had envisioned Violet when I read the play. She was a bit too cuddly I thought, although she absolutely broke my heart in the final moments of the show.

Chills.

I saw Dunagan and I saw the opening night of the tour here in Denver with Parsons. Both were very good but i think I enjoyed Dunagan more. As good as the touring cast was on opening night, I bet they were even better as the tour went on.

It is certainly up there among the great plays of all times.

I saw the play this past spring in Pittsburgh with Mrs. Parsons. Both she and the actress playing her daughter were amazing! Eat the fish, bitch!

Was Laurance Lau still with the show? I was surprised when he walked out on stage. I was in the first row(Too close) and just wanted to leap onstage and kidnap him. Had a major crush on him from All My Children. He did a good job in the play.

I don't think I will ever understand all the praise for the script of that sitcom on steroids filtered through the Steppenwolf-O-Meter (tm).
