Can the adults please smoke? (Pt.2) — Page 611

I didn't know anything about Pillowman before I saw it, and was very glad of that. I found the journey to be fascinatiing. I try to encourage others NOT to do much research on it before they see it. (I've now seen it three times. Riveting).

Piazza is probably my favorite of the year. I'm seeing it again in August, October and I have tickets for the last performance. (4th row, center!) I listen to the CD constantly.

Avenue Q is just so much fun. I love the music.

You really caught some highlights! Did you get to any good restaurants?

I sat there not sure how to react emotionally then realized that was probably exactly the reaction it was supposed to evoke. It was riveting, Addy, that's a good way to describe it. When I was finally able to get above the subject matter I could appreciate the subtleties of the humor and walked out feeling like I just needed to contemplate it further...which I did over a few glasses of shiraz!

Had some great meals; Thai food at Danny's on 46th, Mexican at a restaurant across from Lincoln Center that I can't remember the name of right now... Balthazar's in SoHo was excellent... Had to do Sardi's just because I'd never been there before. Had good meals everywhere we went; I just can't remember all of the places we went right now!

I heard guacamole...

Thought provoking is the best element regarding Pillowman. Particularly as McDonaugh stated that he was just trying to tell a story, without really making that much of a point (I think). But what a story!

*sigh*

*deep sigh*

And Michael Stuhlbarg, who played the brother! The performances were intense and believable!

We saw the matinee...then went to Caroline's that night so it was kind of a weird journey that day...

I thought everyone was very effective...I was originally a little put off by Jeff Goldblum playing what I thought was his usual staccato character, but I finally realized that it really worked in that role.

Mais oui

Sounds like we reawakened a little Billy Crudup fixation, Cookie? Well, he certainly isn't in this play just because of his looks...

He's not. He's brilliant in the role!

I've loved him in everything I've ever seen him in. A very talented actor.

(And, not bad to look at. Right, Cookie?!)

---

oh, that is a shame. He really 'owns' that role! You'll just have to come back...

I've got to run. So glad to hear about your trip, and so glad you had such a wonderful time! 'See' you tomorrow...

Hello everyone. I have been gone for a very long while and I miss you all but life is going great right now :)

and DGrant, darling, I've tried to PM you but it said that you were no longer accepting PMs (so how are we supposed to keep in touch hmm?)

I don't know who still reads the boards, but Boobsie and LAactress I miss the two of you also, I'd love to talk to you two again (as well as anyone on this board).

Thanks for the great times.
