would have been awesome to see the older versions, so id have something more palpable to compare the new one too. other than the movie that is.

i just don't think it got the kind of critical reception in the press that they were aiming for, to be honest. when the buzz reads more like "hey did anyone notice anna camp has no pubic hair" rather than "hey did anyone notice how brilliant that play was" then they probably missed their mark slightly. well at least anna got a role on a hit hbo show now :) good for her.

yeah he seems to really love his work. its good to see.

Oh, 2 other questions, anyone know when the show ends for good? And have the understudies been called on for any performances that anyone has seen?

who knows maybe she reads this board lol (ya right)

Wow, thanks for all the advise guys. I think I may go see it after all. By the way, just picked up the sunday edition of that local paper that had the review I posted in it, and apparently my local reviewer was so offended at Anna's decision to be "modern" that he felt the need to ammend his blurb from last week to include this: "And shame on the director for allowing an actress to appear on stage devoid of any sign that shes a woman and not a girl." And this reviewer is like 70. lol I wonder...

I've seen mixed reviews, so I figure you people here, know your stuff. Is Equus worth the hype? Or should I spend my money on something else? I did see Anna Camp in The Country Girl and loved that, but this is obviously a different type of experience by far. And this is what it says in my local theatre review, it's very cryptic, can anyone explain what this means to me please. "Equus 2008 Broadway, NY: Overall Equus is a 6/10, in this reviewers humble opinion. It was fun to watch, minus some ...
