She is not a nice person and known liar. Somebody on this board sarcastically nicknamed her "America's Sweetheart" which is quite funny considering her mean spirited posts. Just ignore her and her need to be in charge of English grammar on BWW -lol

‘Oedipus’ Broadway Review: Mark Strong and Lesley Manville Make the Same Old Mistakes

A prestige theatrical event from London turns out to be more parody than tragedy

https://www.thewrap.com/oedipus-broadway-review-mark-strong-lesley-manville



"Manville disappoints. Except for her big Liz Taylor moment, her vocally weak Jocasta recedes into Hildegard Bechtler’s set design of a campaign office-suite. The Oedipus political machine has a real money-flow problem, apparently. Despite it being election night, various muscle men appear on stage to remove the rented office furniture. They can’t wait until the election results are announced?"

Basically, if Hofler hates something, run to see it immediately.

Yes, I understand it's an abysmal holiday for Broadway in general, but this would have been the perfect show to eat up all the tourist dollars as folks look for spooky fun. It's obvious that they hope Season 5 is going to miraculously juice this thing...but it just ain't happening. I mean, even the Season 5 trailer had som

I saw a community theater production of this a year ago in a small makeshift“theater” and it worked perfectly as an amateur production with amateur actors. That in and of itself works better for a show like Bat Boy.City Center is just too big and grand and this production feels too polished and produced. I also didn’t get much satire. Again, the pro

Girl, it’s Rocky ****ing Horror. It’s been around for 50 years. Audience participation is what has kept it around. A production that does not accommodate callouts is a failed production, because they are going to happen. That is how fans

I wouldn't have seen it if it hadn't had transferred and I absolutely adored it so... that's just another small reason why it wasn't a

Does this show include the death of the daughter, Victoria? Or does that take place after the events in this musical?

The show is very good, even though it is staged like an Encores concert. The people who have claimed this is not a concert presentation are blind. It’s still good but it is not anything more than Encores does. The sound currently sucks, but I assume this will be worked out in previews.

In any case, it’s a very enjoyable production.

I'm beginning to think the booth will ultimately be the way to see this for those of us unwilling to take out a second mortgage. Curious to see how the Wednesday matinees sell when they begin."

It was on TKTS last night as well.
