Profile for Synecdoche2

Bat Boy and Kerry Butler have a long history together. I think she'll do a great job, and I'm glad to see she's still attached to the show all these years later.

If there's one show in town that's worth premium prices, it's this one.

I also returned to this in its closing week and thought it grew deeply moving. And if nothing else, it's the best sounding musical on Broadway in a decade at least.

Congratulations Audra McDonald on her record-breaking 7th Tony Award...

QueenAlice is correct here. Plays, unlike novels, are not automatically published and available as written texts. In order for the Pulitzer committee to consider the play, they need to receive a manual submission to review, which happens once the playwright decides the work is finished. Consider Sweat, which premiered in 2015 in Oregon but wasn't submitted to the Pulitzers until after the 2016 Public Theatre production, eventually winning the 2017 prize.

Stunning tracks released, as expected. Guettel is really on a whole different level from everyone else working today.

Of the ten shows nominated for their direction, only one of them was off-Broadway, and even that was a multi-million dollar spectacle. Isn't the point of this voting body to highlight work that would otherwise go unrecognized? There was some great small-scale direction this season from artists like Eric Ting or Raja Feather Kelly that would have been well-suited for acknowledgement from this organization.

I don't usually like to comment on something if I don't have anything nice to say, but I thought this was completely abysmal. I have never seen a worse Chekhov production in my entire life, including community theatre productions where the actors didn't know their lines.

Thought this was very good, especially as a time capsule of where certain conversations were at in 1969. The cast is great, and I don't think I've ever seen a show at CSC that so many people so audibly enjoyed.

I agree Wedding Band was by far the best of the three Childress plays recently produced, but I would personally rank this above the somewhat unfocused Broadway Trouble in Mind production.

Really astonishing what Huppert and Wilson can do at 72 and 83 years old, respectively. Avant-garde magic.

Well... she's about as good an actor as Ruhl is a playwright...

Does this not seem wildly disrespectful to you, to listen to an illegal recording and post a lengthy critical review of her performance on a public forum?

I wasn't going to say anything at all, but strong disagree. It was a messy first preview but there's real honesty and impact to the storytelling here. Pedants with their protractors and compasses measuring every inch to death will hate it, but I am happily not in that group.
