Having seen preview of the play, I'm eager to learn what the critical reception will be.

Isn't it funny (not) how critics rally around the Pulitzer winners/finalists with superlatives galore?
Well, the laugh's on us, I guess, since the plays invariably stink.

AGreed. I had such high hopes for Clybourne, and man was it bad. It's just 5 people literally sitting around a room talking about topics we've already discussed. We get it. Black people can be racist too.

And Detroit is about four people sitting outside blathering on about nothing worth hearing. Until a fifth comes in at the end.

The Times review might even invite a Broadway or Off transfer, if another couple of top tier critics weigh in as enthusiastically. The Post review is almost a rave as well, startling. I thought it was designed with that possibility. When I saw it -- early preview -- the production's size and weight seemed liabilities, as it had the loudest scene changes and/or backstage set-ups during the quietest moments of the play. It lumbered forward, and you could literally hear the set pieces being nailed into place on the turntable. Apparently they solved that, and now the production runs smoothly. Will be curious to see what the prospects are. With the Times review, and with Schwimmer and Ryan, commercial prospects seem possible anyway.

I saw this in London at the National and thought it was very good, a lot better than Clybourne Park, this is one of the best plays I have seen this year.
It would be a great fit for Circle in the Square if it did go to Broadway, which I don't think it will.

The discount code for the show on Broadwaybox is "DetroitBway" so...maybe?
