I was lucky enough to see it with the original cast. Too bad it's closing.

Posted: 2/17/06 at 10:14amI was very surprised to hear the news, I thought it was doing pretty well despite some of the cast leaving. I have a feeling they always intented to close it around now because they never recast any of the parts once the original cast members left. That's kinda odd

Sadness. I loved this show and hoped to see it again in march. I will miss it by a week. I saw the original cast and then talked to them after the show. They were allso down to earth. It was refreshing. The show changed my life as a writer.
RIP

Posted: 2/17/06 at 11:29amBert V. Royal (the playwright) was on Chatterbox yesterday and he talked about how this is his first play he ever wrote, he pretty much put out the whole thing in a week, submited it to the Fringe at the last possible minute and the rest is history. That's incredible

Posted: 2/17/06 at 11:34amI think this show is incredible- I saw it twice. Hopefully, I'll get to see it again before closing...

Did you see the Reidel article about the supposed backstage drama during the run of this show. Very sordid stuff...yikes!

Posted: 2/17/06 at 12:08pmSounds like backstage is a play in itself!

I knew that influx of subway ads about a week or two ago was a bad sign. Especially since they falsely advertised all the original stars being in the show when everyone was leaving right about now. That smelled a tad bit like desperation.
Saw the show with everyone but America Ferrera, who was out that day. Enjoyed myself a lot. It's a great space though, so hopefully something good will fill it soon.

Posted: 2/17/06 at 12:27pmThe Century is constantly occupied. It's one of the most desirable Off-Broadway commercial spaces and will likely be booked again in a few weeks.

Posted: 2/23/06 at 2:50pmGood riddance to bad rubbish. An idiotic show that should never have opened.

Sorry, popcultureboy, but it was hard to find anything at all good to say about DOG SEES GOD. Except of course that it closed. Ick.

Geez Roscoe, if I were as witty as you, perhaps my play would still be open.
Ah well. Better luck next time, right?
Yours truly,
