I didn’t really care for this either; the actors are all fine, but the play was very blah for me. I didn’t connect with any of the characters and didn’t care what happened to them. Well, that’s kind of a lie. I really was hoping that worse things happened to all of them than what did end up happening.
I don’t know if this will make any sense, but the whole thing was just so straight. Like, I’d recommend this for a heterosexual date night where the guy isn’t into theater and his girlfriend has to reassure him that there won’t be any jazz hands involved.
What kept my mind busy was trying to figure out where this building was located. The Playbill states that the setting is in Manhattan and from the play we know it’s at least 22 stories tall and the apartment letters go up to at least J on each floor, so it’s a decent sized building. The lobby is far from fancy, but it’s at least expensive enough to live there to warrant a full time security guard at a desk. Also, for the size of the building we never see a single person enter or leave the building. Not a tenant and not a delivery person. So because I was bored this is what I ended up pondering and after 2 hours and 30 minutes of thinking about it, I still have no clue where this building might be!
Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco.
Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!
