Yeh, I don't know what I was thinking when I was typing. I've corrected my post. I think I've had one too many beers tonight. Drunk typing is almost as bad as drunk dialing.
"I'm a whirling mass of contradictions." - Douglas Carter Beane, The Little Dog Laughed
I also think that the Best Revival nominees will be:
BOEING-BOEING CYRANO THE HOMECOMMING MACBETH
"Oh look at the time, three more intelligent plays just closed and THE ADDAMS FAMILY made another million dollars" -Jackie Hoffman, Broadway.com Audience Awards
I'm also back from the opening and loved it! All the acting was strong, but I was especially thought Mary McCormack was hilarious. There were lots of celebs in the audience. I spotted Frances McDormand, Joel Coen, Glenn Close, Dominic Cooper, Jane Kaczmarek, Dominic Cooper, Howard Stern, Kathleen Marshall, and Mischa Barton.

I'm so pleased to hear all these positive reviews! I was at the opening night performance today and loved it, especially Mark Rylance! Yeah there were tons of celebrities there tonight. Sitting near me were many actors from the cast of PHANTOM, and I spotted Harvey Weinstein outside.
I think with the raves he's getting, Mark Rylance will get a nomination. We'll have to wait and see in what category, though. Mary McCormack should also earn a nomination. Barnski is a possibility as well.

Arggggg, the only people I saw were Stern and Laurents, whom I don't really care about, and I missed Kaczmarek and the future Mrs. Tony Vincent? (Mischa)
Brilliant news!!! Its great that this show is repeating its reviews from its London run. I hope it has a good time on Broadway- should be round for a year, at least, with these reviews! Is Mark Rylance still doing the Welsh accent for this production??
A young actress with Noel coward after a dreadful opening night performance said to him 'Well, i knew my lines backwards this morning!''
Noels fast reply was ''Yes dear, and thats exactly how you said them tonight'!'
Rylance is playing a gentleman from Wisconsin, actually. It's an in-joke to the fact that he spent 7 years of his childhood growing up there. His accent (all of the accents, actually) is/are spot on.
He did the best Welsh accent in the West End production -I had to enquire weather his origins were Welsh!?! A great actor and has done amazing things for the London theatre.

there are miniature things that change between scenes- like the maid's cart, the props are changed for each girlfriend to match the color of their uniform
