Profile for Fantod

For anyone who has done the rush, how early did you get there? And were you able to get in?

One of the biggest problems with modern pop musicals is that the pop music is quickly outdated. 2021 pop is very disco. In the current music market, I just don't know if Evan Hansen stands out enough to get radio play.

Maybe Due Lipa's cover of Requiem will prove me wrong, though...

A man is naked for a large portion of a scene, but he covers the important bits the whole time."

Incorrect. I was far house left and definitely got at least 30 seconds of full frontal.

Hamlet is 4,030 lines long. A production with no intermissions and performed on a blank set would run just over four hours. A full production would probably run about five.

I'm surprised that there's not much discussion of this play yet. I found it to be quite moving and very powerful indeed. The kind of muscular, likable drama that can easily be recommended to anybody. The last scene doesn't really work, but the majority of the 90 minute show is about as good as it can be. The cast is also, without exception, remarkable.

Except The Little Foxes is actually relevant today. Anti-capitalism is strong these days.

The category was meant for The Glass Menagerie.

Nora is about 30 in A Doll's House so she would be about 45 in Part 2,

Spongebob didn't sell very well out of town. A limited run makes sense if they want to take the original Newsies route and just go to Broadway for licensing reasons. It's definitely going to be popular for community theatres and high schools, and if a commercial run isn't liable.... ya never know.

Glad you finally got to see the show, Mr. Nowack!

Would like the add my praise to the San Francisco Noises Off. It's a remarkable production, and in my opinion superior to the recent Broadway revival.

Something about those twenty foot walls just really got to me. 

Anyways, this seems to be the one play this season that everyone seems to love, and I'm glad for it, too.

Yeah, they were simple, but they felt epic, almost apocalyptic.

Terry Teachout is a great critic, and his distaste for the show makes sense considering he hates "cartoonish" acting during a farce.

Zac Efron wrote the article?

Hopefully retirement.

Saw it today. Bourgeois claptrap with about as much subtlety as being hit in the head with a brick, but you can't deny that that staging is phenomenal.

Fitzgerald played the role at the Williamstown Theatre Festival and the Two River Theatre. By all accounts, the production was fantastic.
