Profile for UWS10023

Paul Mescal if he wasn’t committed to Death of a Salesman. Not sure how well he would sing it but acting wise he would nail it.

I predicted he would drop out. I never thought he had a strong enough voice for it. I was surprised he agreed to do it in the first place.

There used to be another video on the internet of Zane singing a lovely ballad when he was a bit younger before he bulked up. It was either recorded at a school he was attending or a space similar to 54 below. I am thinking it was a Jason Robert Brown song. Maybe someone else remembers this. At any rate count me in for 1 ticket. I am happy he will be challenging himself by taking on a lead role on Broadway! And a musical! I actually was surprised that he didn’t play the teacher in O’Mary, but...

They had Sam Underwood running around New York with sparkly eyes and a smile on his face like his character was going to be extremely charming and amusing. I knew it was bad after the first 10 minutes and to top it off, the theater felt like a meat locker. Maybe they were trying to keep me awake. I must say I do like t...

He will make a wonderful Rocky and pick up another Broadway credit. Plus, I suspect his weekly income will increase substantially. Bravo!

Are the cast changes for good? Or is it just for August. What is the scoop?

Sounds like a plot line for Murders In The Building!

Not to be cynical, but I would have eaten hay if this project would have actually happened with the two announced actors. I just feel a little foolish for spending $8500 on my orchestra ticket. I did not get it through the box office, so I am a little concerned.

It is hard to believe that this highly creative production will only have 4 months under its belt while The Lost Boys will probably play forever. If Lincoln Center wants success with The Sound of Music perhaps they should consider flying nuns with an opening night appearance by Sally Field.

I thought the production was ok. Some actors handled the material better than others. Kerry Washington gave a very focused interpretation which felt authentic while others seemed to meander in and out of the light pushing rather than inhabiting. I am sure it was much more impressive when Whoopi played all five characters. My guess is that her performance was genuine and had a strong core.

I hope TodayTX gives me a refund and not some sort of credit.

I am heart broken. I bought a ticket on the stage for a friend of mine for his birthday in September who is flying in from Puerto Rico. I thought the show would have more legs. Darn it! Crap!

Does one make a lot of money singing on a cruise ship? She seems like too big of a name for that sort of thing.

I would love to see it! A fine actor.

I saw the show last night 6/25. The 15 minute intermission ran long like there was something going on. The second act felt bogged down and some of the dialogue delivery was clunky. Luke Evans gave a very good performance, but even he seemed a little off in act two. I thought the show itself was fine. It felt a bit like a better prepared City Center Encores production. The direction was straight forward with a lot of downstage crosses left to right which felt unoriginal and redundant.The actor...

I think Lear gets good performances out of actors and I appreciate that as a director she avoids excess. It makes her a good story teller. She trusts the scripts and the audience’s intelligence. Her directing style has a good sense of flow about it.

And Brady isn't available in the summer due to him taping LET'S MAKE A DEAL. Odds seem very slim it transfers."I doubt Billy has any more interest in the demands of Broadway. And as for Lincoln Center, word around my UWS neighborhood is that a Shakespeare play is being mounted after Ragtime close...

Thanks for your clear response! I got the impression the house itself had the contract for all rentals but I could be mistaken. As an NYC resident I get asked about the distinction when friends come to town. Now I will have a more informed answer. Most people tend to think it has something to do with the location of the theater.
