Profile for Play Esq.

You could use any of those barometers to show this is one of the biggest hit they’ve ever had: not in the future, but now.  The last time I remember Roundabout having a moment like this was the Pajama Game: almost impossible to get into without a 3k donation, even then!

Curious…what’s the original ending?

I’ve been trying to get into this show for weeks now, glad to have an opportunity to see it, albeit not in person.  

Might this be the biggest hit Roundabout has had in years?  I presume an extension is out of the question, alas. 

Found this extremely generic and didn’t laugh once…left at intermission.  I was pretty shocked that this was a play from the same writer of Fat Ham.  

That said, Renee and Thomas in Nixon in China would be worth the trip to DC alone. 

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!  It’s Jasmin or we ride at dawn!

Box office every time. They won’t be able to offer you a discount, per se, but they’ll accommodate in your price range and they have access to the best tickets in the house.  I shouldn’t have to say this: but just be really really nice. I can’t tell you the number of great seats I got for cheap just for being pleasant with the box office staff…especially last minute. 

Managed to fit this into my trip to LA, anyone catch this yet in previews?

Dance of Death. We haven’t had a revival in ages and what perfect parts for these two. 

^ I believe the Sher (remarkable, revelatory) was LCT so selling of tickets was less of an issue.  God, I’d see that agin in a New York minute. Maybe my top play revival of all time.

Thank you! This would be heaven on earth 🙏 and anyone who saw Julia on stage knows: never ever again!

Was curious as well…probably would have gone out of pure curiosity had she been in it. 
 

Not sure if it’s still open, but Windfall at Steppenwolf was an epic mess and to be avoided. 

Holy $hit, this is one damn good looking season!

Considering how bad the **** Cat Dolls tour is selling, wouldn't be shocked if she agreed provided she was all but guaranteed a Broadway offer and transfer.

But sure, next time I'll be sure to say "If I could please direct your attention to the EPA notice...""

Why thank you. That would be much more polite. I appreciate your attention to civility moving forward.

If you read the EPA notice, offers are out for the majority of the leads -- I'd assume they're ironing out the details to transfer the cast."

Don’t be an asshole: some of us don’t know what EPA notices are, much less read them when they’re linked to a story.  There are so many less rude ways to make your point.

….not for this cast.  

Also, considering how much this is produced regionally (I recall a really good production in the Berkshires a couple of years ago), is there really much interest?
