Leslye Headland's play BACHELORETTE provides the kind of exhiliration that one can only get from watching a live performance.
This excellent comedy - about three rip-roaring drunk and stoned twenty-something Mean Girls who decide to trash a hotel room the night before the wedding of their "best friend" - features pitch-perfect acting (the six-member cast includes Tracee Chimo, Carmen M. Herlihy, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Fran Kranz, Eddie Kaye Thomas and Katherine Waterston) and direction (by Trip Cullman) and ultra-sharp writing.
Alternately hilarious and bitterly sad, BACHELORETTE is my pick for production of the summer.
And all five of you who'll read this should try and score a ticket before its run ends at the end of the month.

Posted: 8/19/10 at 10:34amTickets are absolutely impossible to come by. I've been trying every which way for weeks. And I've got ways. Nada.

Posted: 8/19/10 at 10:39amHow early did you get there? I haven't given up yet. :) I REALLY want to see this, and regret not going before that great review in the Times!

Posted: 8/19/10 at 10:44amI put my name down two hours beforehand, and got in around fifteen minutes before curtain. It was totally worth the wait--don't give up!

Posted: 8/19/10 at 12:33pmThey do standing room in the back. That's how I got in. Just go early and try to get on the waiting list. Or call the box office and ask if they have any general admission seats left.

Posted: 8/19/10 at 1:12pmOnce again, Tracee Chimo absolutely steals the show. She's so freaking amazing.

I really enjoyed this show! It was both extremely funny and incredibly disturbing and sad. All the actors really played their roles well and gave strong performances. I got to see the show for free because I was ushering, and they said that the show is completely sold out until the end of the run. There are a few standing room spots you can try for, it's a small space and the view is completely unobstructed.
Definitely try for cancellation or standing room!

Posted: 8/19/10 at 9:25pmI liked the show, though I would definitely say it is more drama than comedy.

Posted: 8/22/10 at 11:17pm90 minutes, but it starts a bit late every night (7 or 8 minutes) to get all of the audience seated.

Posted: 12/13/14 at 12:49amI had seen the movie a few months ago and just purchased the script. After finishing reading it and re-watching the film I found the on-screen version to feel much more of a well rounded story. I wish I could have caught the show while it was running, especially curious to see how Celia Keenan Bolger portrayed Katie, that role seems so far from the type she is normally cast as, but I'm sure she was fantastic.
