AMERICAN BUFFALO 2022 Previews — Page 3

I bought a E410 even and watched the show there for the first act, saw much of Criss, not so much of Fishburne. I noticed that many seats on the 100s (even) were available, so I watched the second act on G120 and it was great.

Did I loved the play? No. But it was great to see a Mamet play live, it has his comments on America in a very good way, sometimes sounds like the dialogue is walking in circles, but the actors are great, especially Rockwell and the staging is intelligent. And that set design? The mess that kinda encapsulates that world/characters? I would give the Tony right now.

I saw the show today from the recommended 400 even seats and completely cosign the view from there! The only downside is you get a decent amount of actors' backs, but for every back you see you have an actors' face playing directly to you. For the low price it was really fantastic seats, and with the discount especially so! Highly recommend.

 

As for the show itself it was really solid! It didn't blow me away as a play or anything, but it was a showcase for a masterclass performance from Sam Rockwell, and a really really great one from Laurence Fishburne. Those 2 performances were worth the price of admission alone, and even if the play didn't leave much of an impact on me those 2 actors definitely did. Darren Criss on the other hand was.... fine? I would tend to agree with the poster that writing doesn't do the characters any favors at all, but I don't know the play well enough to say that with any authority. I would definitely be curious to see the same script with an entire different cast, and compare the pace/characterization. Overall a great show, and for the dirt cheap prices with surprisingly great seats, I'd recommend to anyone!

Has anyone purchased tickets through TodayTix for $49 orchestra seats? If so, where were you seat(s)? Debating if it’s worth saving $9 via TodayTix and then pick my seat or just keep my ticket and selected seat.

I am currently in A 226.  Is that TOO LOW?  I can change it to D 228 and save $20.  What do you think?

From the NY Times:

"The playwright fueled outrage with his claim on Fox News that teachers were “inclined” to pedophilia as he promoted a new book that decries “the Left’s anti-Trump psychosis.”
