Anyone going to the first preview of LA CAGE AUX FOLLES?

I'm looking forward to this one!

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Oh, I love them and have full faith in them.... not too sure about the staging etc.

I remember a few shows in London that had to keep interupting the performance because certain things did not work.

I'm going to the 1st preview next Thursday. Sitting waaaaay in the back, $25 seats. But the theatre's not too big so I'm excited.

A good - no, incredible - friend of mine from New York has tickets to the second preview, on the thirteenth. She's trying to bring me. Well, for all intents and purposes, I'm going. My mother just needs to show me how to take money out of the bank (to pay for transportation).

OK - you can have Gary and Gav. I'll take Daniel.

I don't get to see it until December so I'm looking forward to everyone's reviews.

you must be joking. re-read Millenium Approaches. Roy Cohn states very clearly that La Cage is the best thing on Broadway, maybe ever. That's not totally true, but Kushner don't mess around. Gavin should be very happy to be a part of it.
