FEATURED REVIEWS FOR You Can't Take It with You

First Nighter: 'You Can't Take It With You' Takes You With It Merrily
9 / 10

Rarely have I seen such a large collection of scene-stealers on one stage. Check that. There's so much hilarity occurring that no one can steal a complete scene. What these thieving actors do is steal extended moments. They make off with eye-popping sequences that have been carefully focused by Ellis, whose contribution here is impeccable.

‘You Can't Take It With You’ Theater Review: Rose Byrne Debuts, James Earl Jones Floats
8 / 10

'We don't associate Jones with comedy, but he displays the lightest touch here (unlike the sodden Lionel Barrymore in the film). Has the word 'pixilated' ever been used to describe a basso profondo? Jones at times gives the impression of a two-ton hummingbird, and he appears to float whenever he opens his mouth... The great character actors of Hollywood's golden age have nothing over these legit troupers, well known to New York audiences, and that includes the always rollicking Kristine Nielsen, Annaleigh Ashford, Reg Rogers, and Julie Halston, who chews every step as she crawls up designer David Rockwell's magnificent staircase.

You've already seen that a number of our cast members have hidden talents. Austin Durant is no exception. The fashion and beauty magazines that are lying around the green room have sparked a deep passion in him.

Things can get a little crazy backstage in a long-running show. And I can say with confidence that we have gone round the bend at the Longacre. This latest #ImASycamore post is about just that. Somewhere in the middle of act two, we discovered that some fresh produce had been brought in by stage management. So Flynn Earl Jones and Austin Durant decided to put it to use. Enjoy!

The latest #ImASycamore short film is, admittedly, my most personal. I, too, have a secret that makes me eligible for membership in the Sycamore family. I won't bother to explain… My silence speaks volumes. Enjoy!

BWW Blog: Karl Kenzler of YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU - Serenading Rose
by Guest Blogger: Karl Kenzler - January 29, 2015

Doing a big play like YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU is a lot like doing a musical. Large choreographed sections, lots of entrances and exits - we even have dance numbers and xylophone solos. So, it shouldn't surprise you that our cast loves to sing! Just last week, stage management had to scold us in the middle of act two. Apparently, our impromptu greenroom rendition of Funkytown was so loud it could be heard stage right. The exact quote was, "Seriously, guys, I love you. But it's just too loud." Anyway, I hope you enjoy this short film in which the cast serenades Rose Byrne with our arrangement of the Hall & Oates classic, Sara Smile.

Julie Halston stops the show with her inspired drunkwalk in Act Two of YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU. But she has greater aspirations than simply comedy. As the result of a lifelong obsession that dates back to her childhood, Julie is doing her part to keep New Yorkers safe. Check it out! And don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Hey, friends! We're winding down over at the Longacre as we settle into our last few weeks of the run. Closing a show is always bittersweet. Excitement about what lies ahead, but always a little sadness saying goodbye. So these short films are a nice reminder of the fun we have.

by Guest Blogger: Karl Kenzler - January 23, 2015

Actors have a lot of hidden talents. Angelina Jolie is a knife-thrower. Steve Martin plays the banjo. And Colin Farrell is a tremendously skilled Irish step dancer. True story. But that's nothing compared to our cast at the Longacre Theatre. In fact our own Will Brill plays "Ed Carmichael" in YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU and he has a secret skill that qualifies him as a member of the Sycamore family. Check it out! It's magical!

An actor's life is extremely glamorous and follows a grand tradition. The Longacre Theatre is a historic landmark, dating all the way back to it's first production in 1913. Consequently, it's a bit of an archeological site.
