I saw a couple reports on reddit, but none on here so just thought I’d share my two cents.  

I really enjoyed this for the most part.  I’ve seen a few August Wilson plays at this point and really enjoy any opportunity to see his incredible plays live.  The use of language and imagery and magical realism is all so delicious to me.  We’ve also got Ruben Santiago-Hudson, who is somewhat of an August Wilson whisperer, giving an incredible performance h

Lindsey Ferrentino stop adapting documentaries for the stage challenge.

I saw this last night and thought it was fine.  I had heard that cell phone ringing had been a problem throughout previews so I'm thrilled I didn't hear a single phone go off. 

I had mixed feelings about the show itself.  It's definitely a compelling true story, but i don't know that it's compellingly dramatized.  So much of this play is direct address which I find to

Loved this the other night.  This play has truly aged like a fine wine.  The performances are across the board impeccable with Cynthia Nixon really walking away with the show.  June Squibb is pitch perfect and Danny Burstein will break your heart.  I was also impressed with Christopher Lowell in a challenging role.  I thought there was a bit of “uncanny valley” in his performance.  His voice and movement were very effective to me.  As a fan of hi

I’m definitely in the minority here, but I quite enjoyed this.  I think I was primed to like this—a casual fan of the play who enjoyed the LCT production a few years ago, but has no attachment to the source material.  It is certainly not perfect.  It’s a weird and quirky musical which we don’t see a lot of in this day and age. That combined with an exceptional score made this a win for me.  Having the orchestra on both sides of the stage really

Was at first preview last night and was thoroughly entertained and moved. There is definitely work to be done—tightening, cutting, smoothing edges, staging things, etc—but I was extremely impressed with the condition this was in for a first preview Off-Broadway. The energy in the house was palpable tonight from the laughing, cheering, and sobs I heard. The performances are incredible across the board with our Tony winners (Ghee and Kalukango) being wonderful as always. B Noel
