Really glad to see these reviews. Can't wait to see Arianda be amazing in a few weeks!

The praise for Arianda is incredibly well-deserved. She really is the next big thing.

Though I expect continued opportunities in film and television will come her way, I'm so excited to see what she does on stage in the coming years. She'd be a killer Sabina in a revival of THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH. I know she did a couple Shakespeare and Chekohov pieces at NYU, and I'd love to see her do any number of roles by either of them. Something like THE HEIDI CHRONICLES would also be a great fit later in her career. The options are limitless!


Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

NY Post is mixed to positive (3 out of 4 stars):

"Once Vanda’s agenda becomes clearer, the play starts running in circles. Ives bogs down in his own cleverness, and “Venus in Fur” eventually loses steam. Still, the leads’ natural chemistry makes up for a lot -- and it’s fun being left to ponder who’s on top."

Arianda has completely owned the stage in both productions I've seen her in. I agree with the sentiments that she's the next big thing. She's going to be a huge star.

As for the Tonys, it'll be tough, no doubt. At the moment, I think my pick might be Stockard Channing, anyway.

'Kiss with a Fist' by Florence and the Machine (credit goes to a poster at ATC, I had no idea either but it was mentioned there)

Do not know what the fuss was about
The show was a colossal bore after the first 10 minutes.
