I was slightly worried there might be some sort of scheduling nonsense but I never imagined it would only run 5 weeks. Oof. Should have known better I suppose. But. Still. Oof."

It is CSC's last show of their season, so it could easily extend. They probably will as it was announced with a run into June, at least a few more weeks.

Did not care for his approach to PACIFIC OVERTURES. Based on the awful Scottish Play and the unexciting plans for FRANKENSTEiN and DRACULA, I'll go to something else.

HOW on earth does Tavi Gevinson continue to get high profile acting jobs? She's been legitimately awful in the things I've seen her in, I don't understand.

I saw her in This Is Our Youth (which, you're right, she was awful in) and in The Crucible, which I found less offensive but was also a significantly smaller role than This Is Our Youth. I still found her speech patterns and mannerisms onstage to be quite grating. I've also never heard her sing or even heard anyone mention that she can, so that's a concern as well.

I'm on perfectlymarvelous' side. Her voice is always so flat and grating and she seems to never have any variation in emotion or tone. Just flat with a strange modern upward inflection.

I thought she was the exact same character in all the shows mentioned so far.

I thought she was awful in Days of Rage but nobody came off well in that.

Just curious: what have you seen her in?

Her performance in This is Our Youth was infamously terrible, but since then I think she’s really turned everything around. IMO she gave a strong (but not amazing) performance as Mary Warren in the Crucible. And then I thought she was genuinely excellent in both Days of Rage and Moscowetc. I sometimes joking refer to Gevinson as the “Most Improved Player” of NYC theatre.


I think this is a great role for her. My only concern is that I’ve never heard her sing."

I'm with you here. This is Our Youth was a bad outing and...anyone remember (shudder) The Cherry Orchard ?

Shockingly, I thought she was MVP of Days of Rage and though Moscow wasn't for me, she seemed to be in lock step with the creative vision for it.

I saw $85-$125 when I logged in earlier. They also do rush (and “access tickets” during the run when things aren’t selling well).

^ Looks like previews are $80, if you're trying to squeeze a couple bucks extra out.

The premium seats go up to $150, but to CSC's credit there really are very few held back. Some of their peers might follow suit....
