Fun Home tour casting ? Aug 16

I can't wait to see what Robert Petkoff will do with this role in Fun Home. The recent video of Ragtime on Ellis Island where he sang Tateh so beautifully was so great to watch.

Times Square Scams Jun 1
2015, 03:36:33 PM
Skies, I think you are missing the point on this thread. It isn't just inexperienced people visiting New York for the first time who are victimized by these predators. I've seen them attack everyday working people anywhere from 34th and 8th Ave to Times Square. When someone bumps into you and claims you've just broken their $500 glasses and causes a commotion, unless you've heard of this scam before, it's easy to be taken in, whether you've lived in New York all your life or just vi

I'm so sorry this happened to you. A similar scam is when they stage a falling bottle of perfume that smashes in front of you and claim that you broke it. If they start to make a scene, they usually have some shills that will be the audience to claim that you bumped into him, that is when you take out your phone or borrow a phone and call 911 and call the police and say that you are the victim of a scam artist who is harassing you on the street and that you fear for your safety.

Is 39 Steps worth seeing? May 18
2015, 09:31:22 AM
Absolutely catch it in NYC, especially on a Monday night when so many other things are dark. The W Hotel across the street is a great place for a night cap after the show, you'll be out by 9pm since it's a 7pm curtain.

Critics Pick: Ben Brantley's Review of 39 Steps Apr 16
2015, 10:26:31 AM
Jarethan, it's hard to gauge what shows the first stringer at the NY Times will cover, but often when they have first praised a show, as Brantely did when 39 STEPS first opened, they will follow the career of the show in New York. When HONEYMOON IN VEGAS opened out of town and then in New York, Brantley covered it both times. You can see that Brantley did just review NEVERLAND in today's NY Times, so I don't think he's being phased out, but rather in the time before the Tony nominations next

It's shocking how common this is now and am so glad she got a second opinion. Here's to her speedy recovery.

Yes, I thought the theatre at Union Square was a much better fit in size and history than the other venues. Great casting and the director, Maria Aitken, is a master at the clean delivery of physical comedy in her troupe, with Arnie Burton, Billy Carter, Robert Petkoff and the young member Brittany Vicars all doing superb dialect work and characterizations.

I wouldn't think that between shows on a matinee day he would leave the theatre. It's a 2 hour and 50 minute play and the turn around time before the next show is pretty short. You might have more luck being there after the evening show. Enjoy the show!

Nobodyhome thank you so much for your response. I've been a fan of his plays since I saw Bonjour La Bonjour in Seattle several decades ago.

Yes. There is a very short walk they've gated off from the stage door to his car and the street is nuts. He is stopping and saying hello to people, but in the freezing cold weather after a 3 hour show in previews, you can believe it is very few people he can actually chat up or sign things for. If you want to cheer him on or look at him, that seems doable. The two nights I was walking by when I didn't go to the show it looked slightly on par with the Orlando Bloom post R&J crowd the night I went

Here is a discount code until March 13th I believe. Be sure to enter the code in the in the yellow tab where it says "Got an offer Code", use NED1 to find the cheapest seats once you pick a date. There were some seats for $49 in the upper mezzanine.

ALL THE WAY was a great night of theatre for myself, my niece and friend. It was interesting to see how a 23 year old saw the play and processed parts of history that I lived through that she has only heard about.
Bryan Cranston does a fabulous job, he does a real interpretation not impersonation. His arc and passion carry the storyline in getting a Civil Rights Bill passed is a great race and doesn't feel like a history lesson. There was also a lot of humor in the piece in LBJ's crass

Now this is inspired casting! Several folks who saw the Boston run thought Reed Birney was good but this will be an interesting mix. Saw Petkoff's Mercutio in Romeo & Juliet at Chicago Shakespeare some years back and thought he was terrific. This show is shaping up to be a great cast of TV and stage actors. John McMartin, Michael McKean and Bryan Cranston, with Cranston nominated for a Golden Globe today for Breaking Bad.
