JUNK Previews — Page 3

I finally got to see this yesterday and I enjoyed it. I was a little apprehensive seeing this at first because I know next to nothing about financial mumbo-jumbo, but I do like Steve Pasquale, so decided to go for it.

I was seated right side, 5 seats off the wall. I can see all the actors, but for the most part just the backs of their heads. I asked the usher at intermission if I can move to a better seat and he replied that I can move to any empty seat. So I moved to seat H 311. Smack in the middle and I appreciated the show much more, as I can clearly see all the transitions and graphics used.

I was surprised that it really was not that difficult to follow the story. I found it fast-paced and engaging. And has been mentioned already, the actors were all great.

The narrator was still there. She opened the show — the female writer character.

For anyone interested, Ayad Akhtar will be doing a book event on Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. at the 86th Ave. Barnes and Noble. Originally it was just supposed to be him in discussion with a moderator about the play, then he'd sign copies for attendees, but now it looks like Steven Pasquale and other cast members will be performing scenes from it. Here's the BN page:

I really enjoyed the play and would love to go to this, but I've got class downtown until 3:30. Hopefully some fans here can attend!
