M. BUTTERFLY Reviews — Page 2

The pic with the NYT's review is REALLY snarky. They/he found & posted the most unattractive pic possible.

I thought his Anastasia review was misogynistic and all over the place. Was he the one who tried to make a random reference to Ivanka?

Gizmo6, I think it'll be an easy rush. I went around 11:20 on a Friday and got a ticket.

Much appreciated thanks"

Gizmo6, Be leery where you sit, if you do a Wednesday matinee. When I saw the show on November 1, 2017, you can hear all the construction from the outside street through the walls. I was in the mezz on right side of theater. I complained to the House Manager at intermission, who told me they were suppose to stop work before 2:00. Obviously this did not happen. She wanted me to go and complain. I told her she was crazy. She did not offer, but i asked to be moved. She found me a seat in the orchestra all the way to the wall. I felt it would be an obstructed view, so i went back to my original seat before intermission ended. Thankfully, the construction stopped for the second act. Her superior should really take a better control of that situation. If I lived in New York, I would have demanded a ticket for another viewing.

Wow....I guess I’m in the minority but I loved this show. The original production was one of my all time favorites and I couldn’t wait to see this revival. I rushed on Tuesday....got to theatre at 5:00 PM and easily scored 2 front row tickets for $35 a piece. Jin Ha was amazing & I thought Clive was well suited for the role.

As others mentioned, one of the most memorable moments of the original was the gender reveal and I still remember my jaw dropping as BD Wong stripped his makeup off but times have changed & the rewrite is necessary in today’s climate. Don’t let the negative reviews keep you away, especially if you can rush for $35. M. Butterfly is worth it!

Oh wow ARTMAN that must of been so annoying. I would of been out on the street but I agree it's not the audiences job to do that. I'm just a grump.

Will definitely keep an eye out when on the way in I'm only there for three days so I don't want to waste time on a show I can't hear/enjoy.

Thanks for the advice :)
