Sigh.

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

I just bought tickets for the off-broadway production. YAY! Do you guys think it will be the same cast on Broadway?

Won't they decide to replace most of the cast with "names"?

Probably not if it's a direct transfer.

DOUBT didn't recast.

Neither did AVENUE Q.

Most Off-Broadway transfers don't re-cast.

Blech

I know I am in the minority here, but enough with the "because I can make you laugh at violence and sadism, I'm saying something important" already. McDonagh is a fad. Even he must realize this as he has announced his 'retirement' from writing at 35.
I'm not saying he is without talent and I know he has many fans (Mr. Brantley included). For me, I would like to see him get over this juvenile obsession with violence, gore, sadism. The man can clearly write a play. His structure and form are great. I would just like to see him tackle something worthwhile. For the record I loved "Beauty Queen" - but one skull bashing a decade is enough for me, thanks.

Well, he didn't make me laugh, not with Inishmore anyway. I have said it on here many times, but I loathed it.

Imagine sitting in the NEXT seat (i did), trying to control your boredom. Seeing what was onstage had me terrified of angering him.

This is a brilliant, hilarious play and easily the best thing I saw in New York when I visited. The move to Broadway doesn't surprise me at all. GO!!
