Profile for sppunk

A friend saw it on its 2nd performance and said it was very well done and Hayes is remarkable playing 10 different characters. 
 

We see it next month, I’m pretty excited (minus the actual theater, which I loathe). 

It’s prime real estate on a river. It’s going to become condos. 

Caught the matinee today. I enjoyed it but it left me wanting … more? I’m not really sure. 

This play should be right up my alley. Dark, psychotic, sinister plays are my jam but Bug for some reason didn’t fully sink its teeth into me. 

The performances are all top notch. But I wanted more. 

The timing is very weird. Too late for any show to mount for an April opening unless it is ready and was planned in the background, and too soon for th cast to draw out the farewell. 

I don’t love this show at the Public but hats off for a great run. 

f**k him 

I greatly dislike this change. it’s bad for the performers and for audiences in my opinion.  

Why? Wendell Pierce yelling at me from the latest revival a few years ago is still fresh in mind.

She herself turned Funny Girl from a drag, blah show to a powerhouse of emotion and vocals. She’s a force on stage and absolutely kills in this role.  

The NYT reviews mattering left years ago. Now it’s click bait. 

Ran ~2:40 Saturday matinee. 
 

My first time seeing this show and I understand the weak book. But damn this show has banger after banger and this cast slays. 

Caught this tonight. What a marvelous performance marred by terrible sound design.  Henry and Cassie stew the scenes, of course, but the entire cast is so, so good. 

That said: Multiple mics off issues tonight so you couldn’t hear the vocals, and then some muddled vocal from the ensemble, etc. Worst sound design I’ve heard since Sweeney Todd. 

I work for a union that has had two strikes.  We are back in nyc to see shows Nov 7-10 and I am packing signs to join picket lines. I am assuming the league won’t agree to being good and a strike is called.

Quizking shared a code forMincemetin post 1850. [ETA: I checked my own email about this and I see you had to use the code the day it was released. Sorry about that.]"

Thanks anyway! I sign up for OM’s drawings but have never received an email for the months I’ve done so. 

Anything for Mincemeat or Art? 

I am legally blind and attend 20-25 shows a year. I bring a monocular and sit as close as I feel comfortable paying. It’s just part of life unfortunately I’ve lived with for my 40+ years of earth. 

Same at football, baseball or basketball games. 

Excited for this! We usually make a trip the 2nd weekend of January and it’s a lovely time, no crowds and cheaper hotel rates.

Nicole is on this week’s Hot Ones with Sean Evans. Excited to watch it this evening.
