INHERIT THE WIND - First Preview - March 19, 2007 — Page 3

TheActr97J, I would absolutely recommend the on-stage seats, especially for the price. I must admit though, I will most likely revisit the production, this time sitting in the house, just to appreciate it from that perspective.

AC126748, great review. If this season weren't so beaming with leading actors in plays, I'd say Plummer could easily have a third Tony on his shelf come June. But still, in my opinion, his performance doesn't come close to Hugh Dancy's in JOURNEY'S END. Dancy is the "find" of the season, and whether or not JOURNEY'S END is still running come June, I think his performance will be unforgettable for the Tony voters and that he will be rewarded for his mind-blowing Broadway debut in an important, relevant play that Broadway has not seen in 80+ years.

Foster, in the onstage seats, you noticed you were directly facing the house. Cpuld you still see what is happening on the stage? I would love to sit onstage, and i was wondering this.

wonderfulwizard11, you can still see everything that is happening on stage, it's just that you're viewing it from behind.

Saw it last night. Plummer and Dennehy are magical. They complement and support each other beautifully.

Of all the new things I have seen this week, this is the first to "blow me away."

I thought my husband was joking when he told me they were selling plush monkeys at the merchandise desk, but there they were: little monkey dolls wearing "Inherit the Wind" t-shirts. I was stunned!

Miss Pennywise, I am *so glad* you enjoyed the show! It is definitely the best play I've seen all season. Plummer was stunning.

Oh and they were selling those plush monkeys at the first preview as well...I thought it was kind of strange, but I did see two people buy them.

Okay, promised I'd go back later in previews before the show opened again - and here's my take:
