HIGH last night — Page 3

Ghostlight2, what does " Average capacity, even heavily papered, was less than 25%. " mean?

(Because the attendance was apparently about 60% about the average ticket price so low, does this mean that there was a lot of freebies?)

Ghostlight is the only poster whose opinion on this show I remotely agree. I found the writing to be awful--full of cliches and very contrived. I actually thought the acting was horrendous and laughable by all especially Turner who was hilariously melodramatic.

What was also laughable was the audience reaction to all of the cliches. There were literal gasps when Turner said--"and when I ran out of vodka, I would drink rubbing alcohol. and when I ran out of rubbing alcohol I would drink vanilla extract in the aisle of the super market" (or whatever the stupid line was). The audience reacted that way throughout the entire show. It was a bit mystifying that one (or many) could be so shocked at all the contrivances. I would post more examples but they would verge on spoilers.

Great interview. It *almost* makes me want to see the show...

It makes me absolutely ILL that they take time out of the interview to talk to Kathleen about Evan's nude scene. It's so sad they are using all these provocative smoke and mirrors to get people into the theatre.

What self respecting play has ever advertised its MALE FRONTAL NUDITY, put age restrictions on the show had actors discussing it and basically leading with that.

What a joke.

Anyone can get into NAKED BOYS SINGING.

I admire Turner's work, but I wouldn't call myself a "big fan". And I am going to be in the city this weekend with one show spot designated for a play. I also have Born Yesterday, Jerusalem, By the Way, Meet Vera Stark and Bengal Tiger on the list. I will consider seeing High probably only if the others don't work out as far as rush or lotto go. I was really only saying that the interview piqued my interest in the play, but not enough to advance it much more on my list.
