P R O L O G U E :
The Mother Dog : Our Broadway Experience.
The Little Dog Laughed
The Cort Theater
12/24 2 pm matinee
This play by Douglas Carter-Beane is probably one of my favorite play of all time. The dialogues are very witty and clever. We are so fortunate to see this play on Broadway last year. Julie White's over the top performance whom everyone loved including myself won her a TONYS last year for Lead Actress in a Play. As a result.. she has an shrine now in our house. The play is about a closeted actor named Mitchell (Scott Thomas Everett ), his manipulative agent Diane (Julie White), Alex (Johnny Galecki) the twinkie hustler and Ellen (Ari Graynor) -Alex's girlfriend.
The plot is very simple...a homosexual actor who fell in love with a hustler..and at the end he needs to make a scarifice to retain his fame..all with the help of his manipulative agent.
I did not realized that the play was based on Douglas Carter-Beane experience in Hollywood about his play, AS THE BEES IN HONEY DROWN until I watched and stayed for the talk-back with Chad Allen in TDL in Hartford yesterday.. Allen mentioned that the 'he meaning him' playwright character in the play is Douglas Carter-Beane. The play was supposedly will be made into a Hollywood movie but the playwright needs to "straighten up " his gay character and apparently THE ADVOCATE did an article about it and the playwright lost all his rights to the movie hence damaging the property as in of the funny scenes in TDL. Apparently..there is a talk of making THE LITTLE DOG LAUGHED into a movie.. which is very ironic.
The play only played 112 performances and closed on February Feb. 18, 2007. But that's not the end of this dog. She had a liter. One little dog in Boston and another in Hartford playing at the same time with full house attendance on both productions and most likely critics will rave on this two productions for the next few weeks...
So let's go visit the NEW ENGLAND liter of this dog.

) but Orsini's Alex is something else. He is like River Phoenix/ male Allison Pill. 
.. He was very REALLY impressed with Orsini.
