NEXT FALL at Playwrights Horizons - GO SEE THIS PLAY!

I had what I consider the privilege of seeing NEXT FALL at Playwrights Horizons last night and can only say that it is without a doubt one of the most well written plays I have seen in years.

The play centers around the relationship between two men when one of them is hospitalized and is told in scenes at the hospital with family and friends and flashbacks detailing how the two met, up until his hospitalization. It questions religion in the gay community and how we deal it on both sides, those who are religious and those who are not. Especially now, after/during Prop. 8, stories like this are so timely and important and whats wonderful is when a play like this comes along that is so side-splittingly hilarious and at the same time heartbreaking that is accessible to everyone, without having the typical gay stereotypes we're all so used to.

The play is only running for around 4 weeks and I really do urge everyone to try to see it. It's rare to see a play that you hope while watching it will never end. This was one of those for me.

Yes sweetie, I joined Broadwayworld in 2005, just hoping I would get the chance to shill for a show 4 years from then.

Do they grow 'em all as smart as you where you come from or are you the exception?

Yankee, you definitely should! I really hope you enjoy it. :)

I was already excited to see this (grabbing my tix in the next few days)... thanks for fueling the interest!

I saw it last night too, and I thought it was really, really stellar. The acting was great, the story was captivating, good good good!

Heidi Blickenstaff was sitting right in front of me! She liked it too, so there!

I was in D14.

I just saw the show tonight. I agree; it's a compelling, funny, and moving play with wonderful performances all around. It's definitely worth seeing.

Cool. Enjoy!
They were giving final notes last night (I think tonight is opening?) and the audience seemed to really enjoy it (there was a lot of press there last night). I wish it well!

I really want to see this. I love their ad campaign in the subways. It's very artful and sophisticated. I know tickets are only $40, but are there any discount codes or student type tickets? If so, please PM me with details.

I think I'll take the plunge and give them my $35. It's for a good cause, ha.

I'm pissed because I found the most perfect ticket for this Sunday's performance, and now the show is sold-out! Ugh!

So, I saw the show tonight, and it was spectacular. Seriously, I think it's one of the best plays I've seen in the last year. It's so well written and well executed. I really enjoyed the whole show. As soon as thought like the whole religious argument was a little heavy handed, they'd throw in a joke or something, so it kept it very interesting and entertaining. I thought all the performances were wonderful, and the use of the space and everything was wonderful. I highly recommend this show, so please go see it! I would say I wish it would transfer to Broadway, but it would just get swallowed up. I just hope it has a life after this run because it is a very interesting concept for a show.

is it me or is every show i try to buy a ticket to sold out? do they not like me?
