I was thinking of getting 2nd row center orchestra for my in laws. The seat above is the first row. Maybe 2nd row is too close? They like sitting close. But the next thing available in center orchestra is Row M.

Thanks in advance!"

I didn’t sit quite that close but was in Row F on the side, which was the fourth row in that location. That looks a tad close but I like sitting close for plays too. It is not like your parents will miss any tap dancing. There are a couple of things in this production they might miss that is at floor level, but it’s fairly obvious. Row M would be a safe choice but not as good for facial expressions. It all depends on what your parents prefer. Sorry to hedge.

He’s probably the closest we have to a professional talk show guest these days. Since this is probably his last time on Colbert, I hope they give him an extended segment.

This was some of the best acting I've seen on stage in a long time. Joe Mantello and his cast really have something special here. I was thoroughly impressed.

Just back from the matinee, and stunned. It's remarkable. 

Joe Mantello strips it of excess homage and places it down center with a startling immediacy. Gone is the poetic prism on the house. But it’s not bare bones deconstruction; the world of the play has a decided theatrical capture but freed of 1948 specific tropes. The audacious movement to the early 60s gives the text a different post war context, since Miller anticipated an America split open by midcentury greed and mounting disillusionment. These men - maybe all of them but Happy - seem to be fighting against a major, and dreaded societal shift that’s just around the corner. As a boomer who was a child in the era depicted, I could feel the explosions on their way in America pressing against this family, Linda more included than ever. And it’s a stunning company.

He was fantastic. Watch HERE.

Equally fantastic was Marc Shaiman. He never took his eyes off Lane as he played, which is a skill I wish I possessed. To be that familiar with his instrument that he can place complete focus on the performer. Absolutely Amazing.
