Realy? I've actually read more negative reviews than positive for this? And the audience I saw didn't seem that impressed. Hm.

I wonder what theater it would even sneak into. It's not a big show by any means. All the play houses are spoken for. And even something like the Nederlander seems too big.

i mean, if Only a Play doesn't extend, theres a good 3 weeks to get it up and running in the Jacobs.

Let the Right One IN was at the Apollo in London (after the Curious left due to the ceiling collapse). The theatre - with balcony - seated 775 - but the balcony was closed, knocking capacity down to about 625. Even still, it was not a difficult show to get tickets to. So, if I were the producer, I wouldn't risk a bigger venue on Broadway. The smaller venues are owned by Theatre Companies - Friedman (MTC)/American Airlines (Roundabout) - so, there's not really a home for the show.

I've been hearing rumblings about this and I'm very interested. After Once and Macbeth I have absolute faith in John Tiffany.

I know you. I know you. I know you.

I feel the same about John Tiffany - especially after last years The Glass Menagerie, GlindtheGood22. And Steven Hoggett as Associate Director of this production! I am so, so torn about seeing this. The story just doesn't intrigue me much, but the "stunning" and "beautiful" production I keep hearing about here makes me want to run and see it in this space before it makes any kind of transfer.

Greased: Go. Get a $45 dollar ticket and go. You'll be happy.

I actually see this fitting nicely in Studio 54. Might be too big of a space, but it's got the right eerie atmosphere.

A thriller such as "Wait Until Dark" worked for me (Not the original with Lee Remick I'm sad to say) because it was a story I could believe was real. This deals with vampires and for me that would pose a fatal disconnect. Of course if you're a teenager it might prove appealing, but how many teenagers are into theatre?

There is only one vampire - but the monsters and the danger come from other than the vampire. Those aspects, sadly, are all too real.

Uh, Tom, have you seen this? FIrst off, they never utter the word "vampire." And secondly, the beginning is so completely creepy in its complacency.

That doesn't even make sense. This isn't Twilight, it is a deep perspective on bullying and connecting with those who are worth your time regardless of differences. The staging and effects are very well done. Far from a banal tween movie.

I saw this today. Absolutely wonderful. Engaging, beautiful, not contrived.

For me, the plot of Wait Until Dark makes little sense. But the central idea - how a blind woman turns the tables on the bad guys - is so strong emotionally, I go with it. Similarly, the mythic aspects of Let the Right One In a so strong, it doesn't matter that vampires aren't real.

I caught the Sunday night show. It's very creepy, lots of tension, lots of blood and violence, some graphic makeup effects, many surprises. Truth be told, it's really not my type of subject matter, and I was sitting very close to the stage, making it very intense. I was covering my eyes at a few points. However, for those who like this sort of thing, it's great. Performances are solid, the staging very effective, the set design beautiful, interesting movement. The pool at the end was very cleverly done. Some celebs in the audience tonight: Alan Cumming, Marcia Gay Harden, Alysha Umphress.

I think Roundabout would be stupid not to produce this at Studio 54 for a few months. The creative is already a huge hit over here, and I'm still mad I missed Blackwatch.

As far as I know, there is no desire to transfer this from St. Ann's. Hoggett and Tiffany have a relationship with St. Ann's which is why it's there now.

SHE LOVES ME doesn't start until the spring. I highly doubt AN ACT OF GOD is going to run past Labor Day. RTC could conceivably have a fall show at Studio 54. I'm not suggesting LET THE RIGHT ONE IN would transfer, but it's just possible for there to be a show in between AN ACT OF GOD and SHE LOVES ME.

Roundabout has the Keira Knightley show and Noises Off for Fall/Winter, so I'd assume one is going to Studio 54 and one to American Airlines.

Both are in the AA. THERESE RAQUIN is running October-November and NOISES OFF is starting in mid-December with an opening in mid-January.

I can't see this having a Broadway run. Something in a space like Second Stage, maybe.

Hoggett & Tiffany also have great credits on Broadway... I don't think they did this solely based on their "relationship" with St. Ann's Warehouse. And if it can be successful elsewhere - they won't say no.

No way Second Stage does anything like this. I'd say MCC would be the first to grab this sort of thing if it were to transfer off-Broadway.

I don't think Roundabout would take this either, although it sounds like it'd fit beautifully in the Studio 54 atmosphere. The Hayes would also be a beautiful fit if it weren't going under the 2ST renovation/takeover.
