Review: ‘S**t. Meet. Fan.’ Is the Drinks Party From Hell

POUR ONE OUT

Robert O’Hara’s all-star play, “S**t. Meet. Fan,” uses a perilous party game with cellphones to interrogate secrets, lies, and bigotry.

Considering everyone involved, it’s wild how quickly this became a non-event.

I saw this last Friday and the best way I could summarize my feelings is, "this felt like a very rough first draft." Everything seemed unpolished and not fully thought through. There is a lot of fat in the script that can and should be trimmed. Plenty of scenes come and go without any sort of context or resolution (BDSM scene as well as Debra Messing's character's big reveal which felt fully out of nowhere come to mind).


This thing just gets too far ahead of its skis and can't get itself back. Was fun seeing such a talented cast onstage (though I don't believe for a second they were all at school at the same time), but I just don't understand what it was trying to say. The last 20ish minutes show that the writers don't either.

Not since School Daze!!! Who doesn't love a "Da Butt" dance off. Krawkoski's Running Man is spectacular. Throughly enjoyed the show - yes the cast makes the show - and in no world do the bros look like were in the same frat, in the same decade, but this was a ton of fun. stellar set design.

That was…banal.

It wanted to be “The Boys in the Band” with some “God of Carnage” and it was really just a foul-mouthed, watered-down, bastardized hybrid.

Everyone is just using their own sitcom schtick they are known for. Only Tillman and Wu come off as actual characters. It’s a testament to Tillman’s performance that I still cared about his character even though I saw his arc coming from a mile away.

Thank God I only paid $60 during the presale

Honestly, it was the assertively starry cast that signaled to me that this was not going to be very good--sometimes this just reeks of moneyed desperation. I wonder what everyone was paid..."

It's an Off-Broadway nonprofit so probably not much more than the minimum weekly.

It must be me, but I took the ending to be something entirely different than most people.

i thought this was the obvious meaning to the ending, and i didnt know anyone else didnt have the same conclusion? Its pretty straightfwd.
