Sorry Circus, got you confused with Emilia. You are the...um...Non-Original Liz GFUer XD
So today. Kat and I were finally able to see Mr. Pyrce in DRS. I must say I was quite impressed. He plays the role very different from John Lithgow, more deadpan and serious; very much like Micheal Caine. He was not as smooth as John Lithgow's Lawrence but he was extremely effective. His singing was top notch and his acting superb. There were scenes where his character worked better than John's (and scenes were it did not). All in all, he makes an excellent Lawrence.
Rather than just say the usual review (Norbert and Greg were wonderful as usual, Laura was in as Muriel (yay!) and fantatsic, Mylinda Hull played a more valley girlish Jolene but still very effective, and the ensemble as good as ever), I just say the show is quite different now. ALOT of dialogue and scene flow has been changed. It was a bit jarring to see after seeing it the old way so many times. Some of the new bits work, others are okay but suspect in their changes. I will say that the Rupretch scene was so much funnier with Pyrce (Pyrce was really breaking up - the whole humping scene is all new and more hilarious) and his accent and persona as Dr. Emil Schuffhasen was just uncanny. The show is in such good hands but we still missed John. Can't deny that. Pyrce's more strict take however on the role is certainly worth the money.
BTW Mamie, so nice to see you!
that sounds awesome!
can;t wait to see it on March 11.

I borrowed my friend's copy of Anthony's book and devoured it today, that's where I've been most of the day. It's soo great. Norbert's even in a story.

HAHAHAHAHA MAMIE! you got to go in back to "cop a feel"? you'll have to tell us all about it.
Hey guys.
I just have to say that 'I Love You Because' is the most wonderfully simple, funny, beautiful pieces of theater I've seen in a while. If anyone gets an opportunity to see it, please do so.
That is all.
