I went to see it several nights ago. It was quite a good performance on Nathan's part, as well as his (INCREDIBLY GORGEOUS) co-star, but there were a few sections that Nathan might have not been optimally suited for. He tends to play everything a bit too comedically, even when it shouldn't be, but those moments are generally more than made up for by the *intended* comedic moments, such as his brilliant masturbation monologue.
My only other quarrel with the production is that it's really quite a lot of money to see someone sit on stage and read letters. (Which is what he does...the entire show is him sitting at a desk, reading letters with some occasional commentary/narration by Trumbo's son's character). Overall, though, quite entertaining! If you're a Lane fan, definitely go see it before his engagement is over (which I believe is in four weeks).
Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you.
Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.
