I was there! It was great. The audience laughed and cheered for Alice's cover.

I'll be there! I haven't been this excited for a show in months.

Interesting. I have to say, canceling a Saturday matinee makes me a little skeptical. I'm thinking I'll hold off on buying a new ticket until after it opens. How are ticket sales? It's been on TDF for several weeks and most performances don't seem to be selling out.

I just got an email from Telecharge informing me that the Saturday matinee of Reasons to be Pretty (3/21), a performance I had tickets to, was canceled. So was their Wednesday matinee for this week--3/18. This strikes me as a little strange. The two performances were so far apart, and who cancels a Saturday matinee? Anyone know what the deal is?

I am sorry I missed this! I bet "What is This Feeling?" was hilarious.

I wasn't enthralled with the demo of this show, but the presence of these two amazingly talented actors makes me really excited for it. On the Featured Actor debate--Sieber was the best part of Shrek, IMO, but I can't imagine N2N without Tveit. Still, Tveit's young and has a great career ahead of him. I'd be happy to see either of them win. And I'm so sorry that I decided to skip Miscast!

Thanks to everyone who posted a review! I just snagged a TDF ticket for tomorrow night. I love Ionesco's "The Lesson" and this has such a great cast.

When I was 11 or 12, I wrote a musical romance about young people trying to make it in L.A. It was full of Mariah Carey songs. The title song from Sunset Boulevard was in there also. Unfortunately I can't find it to share how awful it was with the rest of the world.

That was just painful and pointless.

I'm also wondering about tickets for tonight. I have big plans to lose the Wicked lottery tonight and I'd love to go to the opening night if tickets are still available.

The play sounds interesting--I haven't read it, but I'm a fan of the original Strindberg play. Sienna Miller is indeed a celebrity, but she's more famous for having an affair with Jude Law than she is for her acting. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1092227/

Holding my breath that this comes through! I saw this show at Arena and it's now one of my all-time favorites.

Patti in Evita

I saw it Saturday night, front mezz, $15, and really enjoyed it. It's not a perfect show and could use another week or so of rehearsals--it is in previews, after all. I agree with the OP that it doesn't have a lot of drama, but I still found it entertaining. I really enjoyed Cynthia Nixon, and Peter Benson was hilarious. My one strong criticism of the show is that the way they do scene changes was very jarring--like the OP said, the kid yells "Scene X!" and that's it. A lot of the time there ...

Is this based on the book and not the movie? I haven't read the book but I saw the movie this weekend and, while excellent, I can't see it being easily transferable to the stage. I'm curious--I love the Magnetic Fields and the fact that Stephen Merritt is doing the score gives me some hope. Sounds like it could either be amazing or hilariously awful.
