Even though opening was last night, reviews don't come out until Sunday due to Gallagher's previous illness that delayed things a bit.

Ahhh gotcha. Thank you, I knew that there had to be a reason.

Sunday? You sure? There are no Papers published on Sundays in NYC. The entertainment sections are prepared way in advance.

I think opening was delayed again; I think it's on Sunday, and the reviews will appear on Monday. Delayed because of Gallagher's illness. But the company celebrated at their own "opening night" party on the 12th, which I think was the originally scheduled opening date.

Roundabout Theatre Company said that reviews will not be posted until Sunday, and although the reviews might not reach physical print until the follow Monday, all of them are usually accessible online, especially Ben Brantley's reviews for the New York Times.

"Mostly, I loved the size of these people's emotions. Nobody has emotions this size anymore. Outsized emotions. Operatic emotions. Kushemski and Vanda are like Tristan and Isolde, they're Paolo and Francesca. Nobody's in total thrall like this anymore. Nobody's overcome by passion like this, or goes through this kind of rage." Thomas, Venus in Fur

Ah, that makes sense. I wonder if Brantley will write Cheno another Love Letter like he did for WICKED?

One can imagine that this is the Chenoweth performance Brantley has been awaiting. He has been justifiably hard on her for her less successful endeavors, notably "Promises, Promises," in which she was so perilously inappropriate, the casting decision seems like an even bigger misfire, 5 years later. (I find myself thinking: her comedy sense made her a Marge MacDougal; the tarnished young waif was just disturbingly past her, perhaps it was never there to begin with; and she was done in by the "Mad Men" wardrobe, so wrong for the poor, barely employed Fran.) Now she has a role that Brantley might've chosen for her. One can surmise this will be a valentine, no matter what he thinks of the production.

I was re-reading some of the reviews for Wicked on "Did He Like It?", and it seems that Brantley wasn't the only one to single Chenoweth out by writing her a love letter. However, the gist of most of the reviews seemed to be that she needed to find the right vehicle to fully showcase her talent and Wicked was not it. On the Twentieth Century is probably the closest she's going to get until someone writes new material specifically around her sort of like If/Then did for Idina. If she doesn't win a Tony for this, she'll probably never win another one unless she gets one of those "overdue"/"thank you for your career" type ones in a few decades.
