Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Playwrights Horizons: The plays suck, but the casts are stellar and usually make them worthwhile.
Glad I have my subscription.

Hey, they plays don't ALWAYS suck. 100 SAINTS YOU SHOULD KNOW was pretty great last year.

I enjoyed DEAD MAN'S CELL PHONE, but it didn't quite work as a play for me.
This season, though both have their major faults, I really enjoyed THREE CHANGES and KINDNESS.
