Keep the CORAM BOY Alive

CORAM BOY is stunning and deserves support.

There is a semi-bare stage, some lighting, a few props, inventiveness, intelligence, humor, accessible language, good acting, an engaging story, breath-taking stagecraft and a glorious chorus.

It's a down-right good time. It's why one goes to the theatre.

While I agree, it appears the critics must have seen a different Coram Boy. The other explanation is that many times they are clueless. This is one reason I love the song about them in Curtains

Well, Barnes (aka "senor clueless") totally missed the boat on this one ! I am still convinced that he never actually saw the show- His "review" was beyond pitiful for anyone over the age of 10 !!

Hate the show, fine.... but the words "Coram Man" were never even mentioned in his review, nor were any of the performers, except for Maxwell (because she was known, most likely)

Elbrick deserved a mention in EVERY review. She is great !!

Senor Clueless - I like that

To think he was once reviewer for the Times

GO GO GO!!!!!!

It is excellent!!!!!! There really is nothing else like it out there!!!!!

(And yes, people who read my blogs are going to be sick of it by next Sunday. :) I intend to make my same post with a scan of the playbill every single day!)

(And I've changed my user pic. For now anyway.)

Saw this show last night and I thought it was fantastic and utterly flawless. I am probably going to go back again on Wednesday to do my part in keeping it alive.

They've already started refunding tickets, so it's not looking too good for you guys.

This is on the short list of shows I really want to see quite badly, but there is NO way I'll be in NYC in time.

YES! Get anyone you can to go support the show!

I'm going to see it again later this week.

SEE THE SHOW!

It's not brilliant, but it's an experience. With that said, I couldn't sit through it again.

WHy does it keep getting snubbed for best Play/best director?

[shesamarshmallow]

Posted: 5/20/07 at 8:24pm

I'll probably be there around 10, too, maybe earlier - I arrive in the city the night before, it's my only chance to see it!
See you there hopefully. :)

It got a Tony nomination for Best Director.

I believe that it is, however, a weaker play than RADIO GOLF, UTOPIA, NIXON, and THE LITTLE DOG LAUGHED.

Posted: 5/20/07 at 8:27pm

Very cool! Yeah...I'm hoping they don't do REALLY funky things with the trains next weekend! I'm thinking 10 at the latest!

It hasn't been bad as of late, but who knows on closing day.

Are you guys anticipating that it will sell out or something? It won't.

You could get there at 2:45 and get a ticket.

For student rush. I don't know how many tickets they have. All I've budgeted for is student rush.
