I really loved the LCT revival of Awake and Sing!- a noble piece of theatre, a deserving winner of the Tony/revival of a play.

Wanna Be, I completely agree with you. It's just very... all over the board. It's almost as if... if you try to pick out similarities, there aren't any. It's great that he's got such an open mind.

If I were to sum up Charles Isherwood's taste, I would say it was intellectual with a willingness to have fun. He can appreciate the larger intellectual arguments and effects proffered by shows which I think the layman would find completely boring (I thought Heartbreak House was a good production with good actors, but it was snooze central for me personally). That might not make him as accessible as other critics, but I admire his openmindedness. I think he and John Simon for me get my "respect" more than any other critics simply because of their knowledge of theatre history and how we fit into it. I of course am overjoyed that Spring Awakening was only one of three to make both he and Brantley's lists.
