Exceptional.   The writing, the performances - the layers of each character - just wonderful.  Someone mentioned in an earlier post that they found the set simple (something along those lines) and I did not at all...My singular note would be the classroom desks a few times hide a clear view of the actors but was not a major issue.  

Interesting that the two most recent shows I have seen ENGLISH and EUREKA DAY are both set in classrooms....


EUREKA DAY Reviews - EXTENDED AGAIN!
 Jan 21 2025, 11:51:13 PM

thought this was excellent.  razor sharp writing coupled with a fantastic ensemble and brilliant direction.  also, the costumes were all excellent. Jessica Hecht should get a Tony for this 

Truly an excellent evening theater.  and that one scene is so sharply written and insanely funny. tonight's audience was hysterical.

The lead producers here all have New Yorkexperience, and I can't imagine they aren't chomping at the bit to make the move for what should be a very Brit-heavy 2025-26 Broadway season.

What do we think?

MCC's 'SH!T. MEET. FAN.' Cast Announced
 Nov 24 2024, 09:06:26 PM

Not since School Daze!!!   Who doesn't love a "Da Butt" dance off.  Krawkoski's Running Man is spectacular. Throughly enjoyed the show - yes the cast makes the show - and in no world do the bros look like were in the same frat, in the same decade, but this was a ton of fun. stellar set design.  


MAYBE HAPPY ENDING Reviews
 Nov 24 2024, 07:09:32 PM

Joining in the well deserved praise of this absolute charmer of a musical.  I loved every single thing about it.   So much has been written by way more eloquent folks than myself, but if even for a moment you are on the fence about seeing this show - choosing a show to see when you visit or just curious - get a ticket.  Visually Stunning on top of so much heart and the absolute talents of Darren, Helen and Michael Arden.  Just excellent.

TAMMY FAYE Previews
 Oct 24 2024, 08:38:23 AM

Katie is a revelation. Her performance anchored the entire show for me.  Found it entertaining, the staging, the lighting, sets - it all worked for me.  Some off the songs are excellent, some just meh.  Empty Hands, You Didn't See Me Cry and He's Inside Me all stand out.   I do think the book needed some more fine tuning. The material treats Tammy with respect as Jordan stated earlier.  I wish we got to know more about Tammy Faye specifically in Act One.
