Just saw it Saturday night and I, too, was worried about missing out on that Cromer magic. But, Parkinson was damn fine. I can't imagine Cromer is significantly better. Although I liked it enough to see it again when Cromer returns.
Sauja is right. the production really is the star.
And I think sitting in the onstage seats would be slightly less awesome during the few moments when someone is running behind you and you miss their facial expression and a bunch more awesome du

I saw the show on Thursday (the night Brantley was there) and I felt the same feel-good energy in the audience as Ed. The play is so well crafted and the performances are so delightful that the laughs and good energy just kept building until the final curtain.
I was exhausted from laughing so much.
I was amazed by just how satisfying the play is. As we reached the 1/2 way point, I was cautioning myself not to get too excited because there was no way the play could kee

When I read the title of the original post, my blood pressure skyrocketed and I got all ready to start typing up a strongly worded post about how immature and mean-spirited you'd have to be to start a thread with a title like...
Then I read the thread title again.
Oh.
It doesn't say "Anyone else think the ACL LADS are ugly?"
I almost fell out of my chair laughing.
Cause if you think they're ugly, good god, you'd fall over dead meeting me.

I finally saw the show tonight (Fri 7/21) @ 10pm) and it was just absolutely wonderful. I laughed so much my face hurts and I got goosebumps and sniffly and I bought the CD on the way out and I'm already planning on seeing it again.
Heidi, Hunter and Jeff were all sensational, but I am in love with Susan.
She killed me.

But, then again, the Shields and Yarnell reference also slayed me.

On Monday afternoon they had "partial view" box seats available for the reg price of $110 for Saturday night (the final show).
I've heard that the orchestra boxes are MUCH better than the mezz boxes and that house left is better than house right.
sadly, i heard this after my friend's bought tickets for the house right mezz boxes.
When you CALL the Roundabout B.O. (they have limited hours) make sure and ask if they have any $110.00 tickets because they won't volunteer t

But, seriously, it wasn't the thread so much as the memories of those moments that got me a little ferklempt.
Those moments of feeling like I'm a violin string, pulled very taut and vibrating with emotion. Positively thrumming.
It's why I love theatre.
It makes me remember how noble and beautiful and temporary and fragile we are and it makes me want to treat others more gently.

For free I thought it was a clunky, poorly directed, reactionary piece of idiotic anti-intellectualism, coded homophobia and kitschy, ill-considered, intelligence-insulting, military worshipping, conformity-loving dreck.
(with 2 very good performances by the actors playing the 2 doctors in act I)
For $29 I would seriously have considered booing at the curtain call (or perhaps, before).
Whatever happened to critical thinking skills?
I blame television.
Seriously. <

This thread has brought back so many great memories!
I can't get over the Light in the Piazza set. I enjoyed the show, but LOVED the set. I gasped in act II when...well, i'm not gonna do the spoiler thing, but...the use of empty space was as powerful as any set I've ever seen.
Baz Luhrmann's La Boheme also made me gasp, and I actually almost started crying when the lights came on in the Cafe Momus scene. I know. How pathetic. I was sitting there thinking: "I'm actually ferk

Um...my 2 cents...
Joe isn't "out" at the end of the action of the play.
(b4 the final flash-forward scene at the fountain)
If Joe is still not out when the fountain scene takes place...why the hell would he want to hang out with 3 queers and his mom? People who aren't out don't usually like to walk around in public places with people who are OUT OUT OUT.
Also, whether Joe is out or isn't...um...his mom is hanging out with the 1st man to ever break his heart into a mi

It wasn't bad enough to be good.
In My Life is a show whose soullessness is rivaled only by the pointlessness of the characters and the crassness of the commercial jingles that try to pass themselves off as songs.
A brain-eating zombie of a show.
A $2 whore of a show tarted up to look like a high class hooker.
