I don't think I saw it mentioned when I bought my ticket (though I could've missed it), but I'm seeing this tomorrow and in their pre-show email they mentioned they'd be utilizing Yondr pouches, FYI.  Will report back on how the show goes!

I saw it this afternoon and was actually quite impressed with how envelope-pushing and subversive this was without it going into unnecessary shock value territory. (Sex wasn’t portrayed in a ludicrous way like SLAVE PLAY.)

I think this play does tend to preach to the choir a bit since the cast is speaking from a deep well of queer experience that a straight audience member would not have. But also, these are conversations that society isn’t having, but also it makes you think if we will ever be prepared to answer them when the time comes?

How does our personal experiences color how we perceive the struggles of others? Could we ever embrace a gay royal? How much self-denial is possible until it becomes self-destructive?

It’s a good play to get you thinking for sure. And also the performances across the board, especially David Greenspan and John McCrea, were EXCELLENT

Alright I need to admit something: every time this thread pops up, I look at it for like five seconds, thinking, "...Prima Facie?" before realizing what show the thread is about

NYT Critic's Pick from Jesse Green

Review: He’s Here, He’s Queer, He’s the Future King of England

The Off Broadway play “Prince Faggot” aims to shock. But the real surprise is how good it is anyway.

I know this has transfer hopes and I’m sure that Jesse Green review helps.

With how this is very uniquely staged, I absolutely cannot see this working in any Broadway house. This show commands a certain level of intimacy that is challenging for most mainstream audiences.

Does anyone take Green/the Times seriously anymore when it comes to criticism? This is the guy who gave Redwood, Smash, and Swept Away Critic’s Picks. His stamp of approval doesn’t seem so valuable & folks should stop looking at it as anything worth minding.

Saw this play over the weekend and was actually incredibly impressed by how ambitious and audacious it is. It tries to tackle more issues than it has space for and I'm not sure it entirely sticks the landing, but there was some really interesting and thought-provoking stuff in there, I found it far more worthwhile than a handful of other things I've seen on Broadway this season.

Pretty expertly performed, especially by John McCrea and Rachel Crowl, and requiring a lot of these actors to bare a lot of themselves for the audience, and not just their naked bodies. There is a fearlessness and a sort of reckless abandon to the whole thing I found incredibly invigorating and exciting to watch.

Yes, it treads some similar ground as conversations among Americans regarding the royal family often tread, but I think there was enough new territory discussed -- what is it like being a person of color living IN the monarchy, how do you reconcile being British but still being a product of colonization, what is the proper way to be queer in the public eye, etc. -- that I was engrossed start to finish.

I think the whole conversation about chemsex/addiction should probably be pulled because at times it seemed almost pro-chemsex to an odd degree. And I think the whole thing could be streamlined, but the bones of something really spectacular are there for me. I thought the inclusion of various monologues presented as the actors themselves telling stories (I believe the first and last are written largely by the actors and the rest are based on their stories but written by Tannahill) were incredibly moving.

Overall, very exciting to see a piece like this in a NY theatre. The audience was engaged and remained present beginning to end. That being said, mother of god this should not transfer.

I thought this was one of Green's better written reviews, it made it pretty clear to understand how he perceived the play and how he enjoyed it despite his reservations.

This to me felt kind of like a quintessential off Broadway piece--boldly edgy and messy at times but still quite thought provoking.  And it does preach but never feels preachy.  It certainly made me (a cis straight woman) consider what queerness could mean to people and how it affects their lives, but within that it also contains commentary on race, privilege, power dynamics, the monarchy, and how that all goes into a relationship.  

I'd love to see this show up again somewhere, but I have doubts of it succeeding on Broadway, if only for the reasons of the title alone.

For what it's worth, the show was on sale through July 13 and had availability for the July dates last night.

This morning it was sold out.

Now they're selling through July 27.

For those going tonight and the next few shows, Jason Veasey will be making an early debut tonight to cover an absence for K. Todd Freeman.

If you’re there, show him some MAJOR love.

Did Freeman leave earlier than expected? Or is he coming back at some point?

Illness. The plan is to return. When exactly is the question.

So. Just an FYI. If you aren’t already here on line for the 99 cent Sunday performance tonight, don’t bother,

I got here at 5pm and I am 95th in line. If the rule was everyone could buy one only, then I’d be fine.
