MTC's new play with Linda Lavin that opened to tepid reviews/box office figures ends it's limited run today. Did you enjoy it? Do you think it'll be remembered come award season?

No one cares.

I hate to promote cynicism on these boards, but yeah, really, no one cares.

Maybe Lavin gets a nod. No chance for anything more.

Saw this a few weeks ago. Curious to see what others thought. Lavin was fun (and reminiscent of every tristate Jewish mother, mine included) but the show was just too stilted for me. 

I also may have been the only person under the age of 50 in the audience.

I wonder if that poor soul who was trying to unload a full price ticket for the last show ever did. It would have been  miracle on par with Moses parting the Red Sea for him to have pulled it off.

Every performance seemed to be available on TDF. 

No one even cared for $40.

I thought this play was one of the worst things I have seen.

I enjoyed Lavin enough and thought the twist was interesting, they just didn't do anything with it. It'll be interesting to see if it gets any nominations.

It has about the same chance of being nominated as any show other than the one at the Richard Rodgers has of having a shot in hell of winning Best Musical.
