for some reason, it's not a tough ticket.

I would guess that it might have something to do with a lack of promotion. I've barely seen any at all. I'd venture that many people don't even realize the production is up and running.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I don't know...but with the two stars and the good reviews, I was surprised--and pleased--that it was so accessible. You would think they could promote it very well and easily, too, given the sitcom successes of Mullaly and Offerman.

One of the coolest celebrity couples of all time. Love them.

Seems a low-key affair. But I would imagine it's not a tough show to produce. It all came from California, so probably minimal rehearsal. And only two people, etc. Small running crew.

In the city next week with my daughter and want to catch this show. How appropriate would it be for a 15 year old girl?

Depends on her maturity and what you want her watching. There is some nudity and it's a drama dealing with marital breakdown, domestic abuse and other adult themes. Profanity throughout, mainly the f word.

Thinking of seeing this instead of one of the shows in one of the big Broadway houses....

I would recommend that, jbm2. It's better than any play currently running on Broadway. CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN is probably the only thing that comes close but more so if you're a big Martin McDonagh fan.

saw this on Sunday and really enjoyed it. Offerman is incredible, he really becomes the character (and my wife enjoyed his butt). Mullaney is great but a little shrill (considering that's how she is in everything, that might not be correctable). Great story, terrific sets, very well done in a theater where there are no bad seats.

Go see this.

Couldn't agree more with the above poster. A good play, well acted with an amazing set. I think they've deliberately kept this a low key affair but it's a great show that seems to be falling under the radar. Certainly worth watching to see a totally different dramatic side to both Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally. One week left, catch it while you can.

I went today, and I agree with the other positive reviews -- a good play, well-acted (especially by Offerman). There were a couple of slight problems -- for example, the annoying blackouts at the start, as others have mentioned. I also agree with Isherwood's point that the "reveal" was kind of artificially delayed. But those are quibbles. I'm really glad I got off the fence and caught this in time.

It seems sometimes I practically live on the various theatre boards, and I get emails and mailings by the basketful about nearly every theatre event in NYC, but I literally had not heard one word about this show until I read this very thread last week. So I printed the $35 matinee voucher and got a front row ticket to this past Wednesday's matinee. I LOVED THIS SHOW, and would agree it's one of the best plays currently playing in New York.
