Hollywood Reporter is Very Positive: Smells like a hit, a very palpable hit "The Shakespearean references come thick and fast, along with the winking nods to a whole plethora of modern musicals, in Something Rotten! But the laughs in this rambunctious comedy by Broadway newcomers Karey and Wayne Kirkpatrick, written with British humorist John O'Farrell and buoyed by a top-drawer cast, don't require comprehensive recall of classical theater or a particular receptiveness for arcane Broadway in-...

Deadline is up and it's Very Positive, with love for James & Borle: ‘Something Rotten!’ Plays The Bard Card In Broadway Merriment – Review "It’s entirely possible that I would have had a different reaction had not the show given us the exuberant D’Arcy James in his best role ever, a relief from the stolidness ofNext To Normal and the dour cuckold he played on NBC’s Smash. Ditto Borle, also aSmash grad= and beloved of some, though not me, in Peter and the Starcatcher." "I may be in the minorit...

NBC NY is up and it's Very Positive, especially for the performers: It's the Bottoms on Top in Easygoing Comedy "Something Rotten!" "“Rotten!” paints musical theater culture in the same broad strokes that the “The Book of Mormon” used to satirize religion—everyone gets to be in on the joke. This new musical makes us do just enough work that we feel satisfied for picking up on them. Go for the production numbers and the big-hearted turns from the leads, whose enthusiasm ultimately proves even ...

TimeOut is up and it's a rave Something Rotten TONY Review - 5/5 Stars "And what a cast. If you didn’t already know what a smashing actor and singer Brian D’Arcy James is (he briefly stole the show earlier this year in Hamilton), here is a chance to see him carry a show with wit, fire and some impressive tap moves. Of course with an ensemble this good, the carrying is shared: Cariani squirms adorably; Blickenstaff’s radiant as Nick’s sensible wife; Brooks Ashmanskas as a flouncing, closeted p...

Shoot me a best offer since my flight was cancelled and I can't make it!

BUMP! Show is tonight - anyone interested? PM me!

I have two transferrable tickets to Then She Fell in Brooklyn. Face value is $125/ticket (obo) - 2 tickets available. MARCH 5 at 10:30PM

I especially thought the set was magnificent. Here's hoping Donyale Werle gets recognized for her equally whimsical Bloody Bloody set with the Tonys.

Very happy about Sleep No More, but the most glaring omission is Peter and the Starcatcher for Outstanding Play, Direction, and Set Design.

Where is Peter and the Starcatcher?!?!?

Clybourne Park wins. Detroit and A Free Man of Color finalists.

Mark Rylance is such a fantastic actor.

Why not a transfer of Peter and the Starcatcher? The Belasco is just over a thousand seats and could be a great space for this amazing show!

EW gives it an A: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20364394_20438294,00.html

The more recent ones that I can remember: Donmar: Hamlet Mary/Stuart Frost/Nixon Red Creditors (to BAM) The Great Game: Afghanistan Menier: La Cage A Little Night Music (2009 Revival) Sunday in the Park (2008 Revival) Enron Pitmen Painters War Horse (upcoming) Any others?

Is there a comprehensive list of productions transferred from London to America? If not...could anyone help me brainstorm?

I saw it on Sunday afternoon. Ultimately, the writing is really great, the characters are modern and beautifully developed, and the political conversation and subject are thrilling. However, the sexuality aspect seems thrown into the play and muddles the piece. The performances are pretty fantastic across the board, Ireland was particularly good (and I haven't loved her in Reasons or After Miss Julie), and both Jenny Bacon and Deirdre O'Connell were breathtaking. Design-wise, David Korins is ...

The David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center also had a breakout: http://blogs.wsj.com/metropolis/2010/10/14/bed-bugs-at-the-met/
