After the Dog Day Afternoon reviews tonight, I'm feeling good about having dropped Jon Bernthal from my nomination predictions in favor of Don Cheadle.

But as far as the winner goes, John Lithgow seems fairly safe, although there's a world where Nathan Lane or even Daniel Radcliffe takes it instead.

Adam Feldman at TimeOut is negative: "a hollow and desultory maladaptation."

NYT is mixed

Peter Hempstead of Theatremania is positive on the performances and set, negative on the script and direction

Robert Hofler of The Wrap is positive

 

Mixed-negative from Matt Windman at AMNY - "The production ends up straddling two audiences without fully satisfying either"

That's incredible!

Now let's get her into Oh, Mary! next!

Kim Novak criticizes Sydney Sweeney's casting: "I would never have approved... She was totally wrong to play me"

Yeah apparently it’s a Sweaty Oracle rumor and I have to take him with a grain of salt"

Billie Eilish is already in talks to make her screen acting debut Sarah Polley's adaptation of "The Bell Jar"  Granted, that could work in either direction - it could signal a desire to break into acting that could include a plan for a Spring Awakening movie or it could be a scheduling conflict that takes it off the table.

Proshot set for theatrical release on July 24

I just checked Concord Theatricals and there are more than two dozen productions scheduled from September through November. No blackout whatsoever.

Variety is positive: "a thought-provoking pleasure"

4/5 from Adam Feldman at Time Out

Embargo is 10pm est per Adam Feldman

Positive review from The Contending - "Boundless enthusiasm and sheer ebullience"

I can kind of understand why they're rarely produced because he writes for massive casts, but I'd like to see some of the works of Sidney Kingsley be rediscovered. Plays of his like Men in White, Dead End, or Detective Story still play as surprisingly (and in some cases, depressingly) relevant today.
