Saw the invited dress tonight.
It's pretty damn brilliant. MJL is usually a little too inaccessible for my tastes, but this score is gorgeous and fun. It's one of the smartest and most moving pieces of theatre I've seen in a long time. Fascinating piece - a story where I never knew what was going to happen. The entire production is lush and smart and fluid. Really really well done.
The cast is ridiculous - one for one.
Aaron Lohr should be a movie star, he's a phenomenal actor.

So phenominal actors are too good for Broadway now?

Oh jealous! I want to see it so badly. The story sounds so interesting and everything. Plus, the cast. Plus MJL. Wow.

Kasim, I've been told that it's a tiny house and that all the seats are actually pretty good.
I assume that since it's a short run, you should grab up whatever tickets are left if you want to see it.
There is a discount code for the show however. You can get $55.00 seats: http://www.theatermania.com/discounts/

Posted: 10/11/05 at 12:11pmKasim, there really aren't any bad seats in the Anspacher. Sure, it's nicer to be in the center, but you won't miss anything being on the sides.

It's spelled "phenomenal."
And I agree, there's not really a bad seat in that theatre.

Posted: 10/11/05 at 1:09pmI saw a show in a theater similar to that shape. I was in Row B on one of the "sides" that wasn't directly facing the front of the stage. Considering it was a tiny theater, a lot of the action was really close to all the seats.
