Jordan Sees PRIVATE LIVES

I only have a minute before I have to run out but I wanted to write quickly to say Thank You to the theater Gods for bringing this production to us. I know now you've been testing me with shows like VENUS IN FUR, SEMINAR, MAN & BOY and RELATIVELY SPEAKING and now you've rewarded me with this most glorious revival.

To say that Kim Cattrall is simply divine on stage, is such a gross understatement. Thinking back on her last night (and right now) all it does is bring a huge smile to my face. These long years of waiting to see her live were worth it and I pray she won't stay away for another 25 years.

Paul Gross, who I was fairly unfamiliar with, is quite swoon-worthy as Elyot and is hilarious all around. His chemistry with Cattrall is perfection as is the rest of the cast, the set, the lighting, the direction, everything..

Oh and a side note, I was sitting next to the director yesterday taking notes (are you ready for this?!?!) WITH A PEN AND A PAD OF PAPER!!! It IS still possible to work and not annoy your audience!

Yes, you should watch that, Jordan

Yes! Watch Slings & Arrows! It's so good! It was on Netflix but alas, it's not anymore.

I'll check that show out. Thanks, guys!

And I was talking to the woman at the box office (who is always one of the nicest people at any theater) and she told me they're thinking this is going to be a BIG hit, the way it's selling so far and tat they're all pretty excited about that. So I'd bump it high on your list if I were you.

I'm not always snarky!

Feed the birds, and what do you get? FAT BIRDS!

Great to hear how much you enjoyed these two Canadians. (When the production was on in Toronto, Kim gave a charming radio interview where she revealed why she would never be an American citizen--which was more an amusing story than anything else--and also that basically all of her film and tv work was done so she could afford to persue her number one passion, stage work). I echo all your thoughts, and it sounds like nothing really has changed since Toronto.

I'm surprised you don't know Paul Gross at least from Tales of the City (the first series only). He's one of those Canadian actors you constantly see up here (I used to date a guy who would stalk him every time he was in town filming something, but that's another story), and yes, Slings and Arrows is a must watch, one of the too few truly great Canadian TV shows.

You just inspired me to get a ticket for next Wednesday's matinee. Thanks for the heads up.

You'll love it, Gator!

Ripped, Act 1 is on the balcony and acts 2 & 3 are inside of a hotel room.

I think the poster/marquee is beautiful! Such a sexy pose. I wish I could see this.

Strictly speaking, she's both of yours--she had dual citizenship.

At the box office.

Just adding to the chorus of people recommending the divine Slings & Arrows. Seriously. Watch it. And thank you for the warning about how Private Lives selling, Jordan. I'll just have to go in and see it on Tuesday. :)
