Superior in length (insert Jon Hamm joke here...) But seriously folks...really? It's a showcase for Mr. Cranston, and very long and boring. CASA VALENTINA is fresh, delicate...finely drawn. Doesn't stumble around like ATW does.

Ok, Mr. Director...tell me why you think so?

And "NO"...I don't work for MTC nor am I Barry Grove's cleaning lady.

Hands down: CASA VALENTINA...out of town visitors this is a must see!

I could read a book for that. This play is a dud...best play should be CASA VALENTINA, it's a no-brainer.

Do we really need yet ANOTHER production of this dreary, depressing play? Let's go back to the NY Times review of the 2004 production, and I quote..."the uneasy realization that Ms. Norman's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, which opened in revival last night under the direction of Michael Mayer, is looking more artificial than it did two decades ago." I have a feeling Oprah would angle the whole thing toward a Super Soul Sunday rendition of a very dated work, barring commercials in between beats...

They definitely cast actors the director was comfortable with. I went through the audition process...and let's just put it this way, they were very transparent if you didn't fit what they were looking for. Not harsh, though. But look at who they cast, people who would agree to a 1 year production contract and not names or stars to common theatre folk but known actors from their casting "lists" who they have all worked with before. I have never worked with them before nor was I what they were ...

No...they are doing a service to NY based actor by giving him the part. C'mon...

Would anyone happen to have any suggestions on getting discount tix for Cabaret? They aren't on TDF and I am not eligible for HipTix...thanks so much!

I was hoping to see Dev standing outside Table 46, peering in from the street, tears in his eyes, wondering "what if I had never..." Then a car comes out of nowhere and wipes him out. NY plates on the car: "AMLives"

Imitation of Life - I believe it was Jeanine Tesori & Tony Kushner

My vote is to put her in a sitcom, Hilty is great at that stuff. McPhee is too bland, she's gotta kick it up a notch. A movie career would be best for her, that is, if the movies want her.

******* SPOILER Discussion ******* My prediction: Vargas dies / Hilty gets pregnant. ******* End Spoiler ******* Mind you, I agree with most on here, they really went the wrong way with this show. I would have preferred something grounded in a bit more reality. Spielberg said the series was "to be an absolutely authentic depiction of an arcane world".....oh well, they went in the totally wrong direction.

************SPOILER DISCUSSION************ Ok, you have been warned..... I heard an interview with Jeremy Jordan. Apparently a major character dies by season's end...my guess it will be Krysta Rodriguez (Ana Vargas / The Diva)...especially seeing how last night's episode ended. Jeremy would be the obvious choice but hey, it would be more tragic if it were her, no? Discussion welcomed.

I am not sure what the spoilers policy is here...just don't want to offend.

I "heard" one of the characters will die by season's end...is that something we can discuss here?
