I loved rooting for Kenneth in Primary Trust. It felt so quiet and his character stayed with me for weeks after seeing it at the Laura Pels last Spring. I am happy for Eboni Booth and look forward to seeing it again. I think I may make a fall foliage trip and catch it at Barrington Stage where it is playing 9/18 - 10/13/24. Casting TBA.
Lempicka is absolutely my favorite show this season. I am very happy that Eden and Amber earned nominations. I was also especially pleased that Riccardo Hernández and Peter Nigrini earned nominations for scenic design which I thought was unique and outstanding. I mourn that the score did not get nominated. I am patiently waiting for the cast recording which will be in heavy rotation. I have tickets to return one final time. I hope I am still kicking when thi
I’m so glad I read the NYT review AFTER I saw the play. There are MAJOR spoilers in that review.
Daly and Atkinson clearly have a likable chemistry together. I liked the comedy and discussion points about aging more than the politics. I also felt it was too short and did not give us enough time to really get to know them.
I am super excited to add this show to my trip to see Gatsby at A.R.T. Very excited to see this. Klea was so good as Dolly at Goodspeed so I’m sure she’ll be great. There are $20 seats in row O.

ColorTheHours048: why does the overture sound like we’re about to watch Riverdance on molly?
I just loved the clicking at the opening with the purple lights that move from left to right as if we are about to get launched into new dimension. I found that opening so exciting especially on my second viewing. It felt like the start of an old MTV music video. Anyway, I love your description. When I head back for my third viewing in May, I'll be smili

I am so glad to hear this! I am sure that scene plays so much better now. Thanks for your report and I’m glad you enjoyed it. I agree at this point after seeing many of the other new musicals, I tend to think Suffs will take the prize.
I personally don’t feel the love triangle to be half-assed whatsoever. Tamara married Tadeusz as a teenager and self sacrificed her body to get him out of prison. They had to flee Poland for Denmark and ultimately Paris. I don’t think the musical needs to give equal time to the Tamara-Tadeusz love to legitimize her love for Rafaela or her bisexuality. Tamara and Tadeusz eventually got divorced. Of course now I am remembering all the flack that Francesca got for cheating on Bud. Right, good girls don’t do things like fall in love with other people. Good grief.
It has been a while since I was rooting for a show so much. Yesterday I was talking with a friend about the preview reports so far and said that there has been more than a few saying that they didn’t care for the show because they leave not knowing who Tamara was. My friend, who attended the show, quickly replied I learned a lot about her and felt I knew her by the end.
So I asked, What did you learn exactly? She stated the following:
