Hope to hear some reports. Out of curiosity, I swung by at around 2 and was told rush was sold out after it went on sale and that standing room wouldn't be offered until after opening night.
Scratch and claw for every day you're worth!
Make them drag you screaming from life, keep dreaming
You'll live forever here on earth.
Went to Broadhurst box office and was surprised at the cost of tickets. The rear mezz.for Lucky Guy was $87. on weekends and $ 82.weeknights. Orchestra was $152. I think I will wait for the reviews on this one.I am beginning to rethink paying these prices for star shows.
I was going to go straight to sleep,, but since April asked,
It's so-so. A biography-drama from the same mold as Lombardi and Magic/Bird. It's slightly better written than those two, but only slightly. It's more slickly structured and directed.
It recounts the career of reporter Mike McAlary. Some events are enacted, with a phalanx of fellow reporters acting as a sort of Greek chorus, filling in the blanks regarding time, place, and the events themselves. Too much is told, actually, rather than shown.
The play's major defect is its inability to bring to individual life either its characters or the milieu in which it is set. That goes most of all for the main character, who emerges as little more than an affable guy with ambition and talent. He remains fairly bland throughout.
Tom Hanks is an affable and accomplished actor, and that's how he plays the character. He needed a more complex role to play, but he's more than adequate to the task given. In any case, it's better than those other star vehicles, Three Days of Rain and A Steady Rain.
Don't know how I can answer that. Everyone has a different sense of what something is worth.
As a show, would you say that Lombardi or Magic /Bird was worth the ticket price? If so, then this would be worth it, too.
Did you feel Julia Roberts and Jackman/Craig's shows were worth the ticket price? If so, and you're a fan of Tom Hanks, then this one would be worth it too.
Aww, devil, I knew what you meant. Thanks for posting, After Eight; I was hoping this show would have a general rush but at those prices, I will probably pass. I did see both "Rain" productions, but I think I have finally gotten over wanting to see a famous actor in a not-so-amazing-show! And there's a lot out there right now, can't take it all in...
I agree with After Eight. My expectations were lowered, but there's still a month before the opening to work on this play.
I liked Christopher McDonald as lawyer Ed Hayes.
One may be lost on the NYC references to events and people from the 1980's and 1990's despite the use of TV news clips and projections of newspaper headlines.
I'm going on Wednesday and will give my thoughts then. There was a massive crowd on 44th last night trying to catch a glimpse of Hanks coming out the stage door.
Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco.
Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!
newintown, one might suppose that. One might even rightly suppose that. But many folks have a weird reverence (that I’ll never understand) for Nora Ephron that faileth all human understanding, given that, as a writer, she’s something of a simp.
I’m not yet interested enough in this project to see it for myself, but I am curious about the success of the cast.

anyone else suprised they've started selling SRO from the first preview. Even Book of Mormon didn't start selling SRO until about three weeks into previews.
