I know it hasn't started performances yet, but does anyone know the normal running time for 'The Marriage of Bette and Boo'. I'm trying to plan to catch a train after the show. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Your crystal ball is as good as the rest of ours. You'll just have to wait until the show starts previewing.

So has anyone seen the show yet? How is it?

Mrs R hated it. I thought it mildly entertainment. John Glover is basically wasted.

Runs roughly 2 hours. Maybe some change, too.

It's a very shocking, provocative play, even today. Definitely not everyone's taste, but I will go as far as to say that it's Durang's best.

For the record, I haven't seen this production yet; I'm just familiar with the play itself.

And from the opinions I've heard from people who have seen this production, it's still very good at polarizing audiences.

I don't know the running time of this performance, but if it is like all other Durang plays it will be just a little too long.

It is a very difficult script to pull off, but the cast is so impressive. If THEY can't do it right, it can't be done.

PEACE.
