How did I not know she was doing the play!!! I saw the poster for it and I'm like "wAAAAAAAAAAAIT! I never knew this!! I LOVE HER HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS!"

Is she as good as I'm sure she is?

What play? Menagerie? God knows I love her (and I didn't see it), but I heard she wasn't so great.

::heart attack::

Really? That's okay, I love her anyway, she was good in everything else. Is Menagerie still playing? I have almost no knowledge of Broadway plays...

Scratch that, I won't be seeing the show. Plays do stage doors though right?

Yes, the theatre has a stage door that the actors do enter and exit out of.

I suppose this comment was snarky, according to PaperLantern. Updated On: 6/25/05 at 08:05 PM

Fantastic, thank you!

Hey PJ, that needlessly snarky answer would have come off better if you hadn't idiotically misused that apostrophe.

A friend of mine saw the show last week and loved it...and he had heard all the negative hype..from me...so if you're a fan, go see it. It's a different interpretation, but that's what theatre is...try new things.

At least you didn't type "set's fire."

PaperLantern, it's your first day. Might want to back it up a bit.

[PaperLantern]

Posted: 6/25/05 at 8:32pm

Sure thing, Rath.

Jessica Lange is an incredible actress, but Amanda Wingfield is just not the right role for her. She seems very lost in the part, and only really registers any kind of emotional intensity towards the end of the show (particularly, the last scene). The show closes a week from tomorrow, so if you want to see it, get there fast.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 6/25/05 at 8:37pm

Oh. I see. It's NOT your first day. I take it back.

[PaperLantern]

It's your second, Sybil.

Posted: 6/25/05 at 8:41pm

Yes PaperLantern is a longtime lurker and first time poster. Let's all grab a stone and start throwing.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 6/25/05 at 8:41pm

Lurker my ass.

[PaperLantern]

Posted: 6/25/05 at 8:45pm

When I'm a legend do I get to start using words like "ass"? Why couldn't I be a lurker? Do you really thing normal people just stumble upon this board?

But, going back to Rath's first comment to me, it would seem that on day one you must be pleasant, but after that you can start being catty and snarky?

[PJ]

Posted: 6/25/05 at 8:45pm

Rath, marry me?

[MargoChanning]

Posted: 6/25/05 at 8:48pm

I actually liked Lange well enough as Amanda. I've seen better Amandas, but I thought her choices were all valid. I just thought that the overall production was misconceived and misdirected (and mostly miscast).

Lange's a great actress, though, so if you're a fan, it's worth seeing her on stage.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 6/25/05 at 8:50pm

You're calling me Rath already. Like we've "spoken" before. And there have been many instances lately of Multiple Identity Syndrome. If I'm wrong, I apologize, but I'm a bit cynical these days.

[PaperLantern]

Posted: 6/25/05 at 8:55pm

I'm very sorry. I didn't realize that on message boards you should type out someone's full name until an appropriate time has passed. (I don't mean that to sound snarky.)

I'm sorry if I've caused any trouble to PJ, Rathnait62, et al. Seriously.

[SallyBrown]

Posted: 6/25/05 at 10:00pm

Yeah I don't think I'll be able to see the show. I'll try stage dooring it, it would be amazing to meet her!


p.s. Ah, I didn't realize PJ meant that in a starky way. I know what a stage door is thank you, I just wasn't sure if they did that with plays, again, I don't know much about Broadway plays. But I obviously missed PJ's sarcasm there my bad.

I actually wasn't trying to be rude. I was just in a "matter of fact" mood earlier. My apologies, Sally.
