ok so just to get this out of the way, not to broadway.

However Primary Stages fantastic production of The Model Apartment will be remounted in April/May at either The Public or Signature Theatre

Why not Broadway? Too small or lack of theater?

Not having seen it, I'm not sure about the size issue, but I'm guessing "The Realistic Joneses" has the Cort. There is a dearth of theaters, I'd imagine. (However, as these are both subscriber houses which book their shows in advance typically, I'm wondering how it will move into one this late in the season.)

It was repugnant, repellent and full of holes as well.

The audience absolutely HATED it. They were grimacing and shaking their heads in disgust when it ended.

Of course that was before the -- suprise, surprise -- raves from Brantley et al.

To wish death upon someone is terrible. As is your grammar.

Have a happy holiday season.

It was searing and incredible. A transfer to a Broadway stage would lessen the claustrophobia of the thing. I certainly hope more people get out to see this, it really was one of the best things I saw all season.


"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

I read the play many years ago, and really liked it. It's powerful and uncompromising, sort of the inverse of Margolis' Dinner With Friends. When (and if) it transfers, I really want to see it. An off Broadway venue is I think, more suitable for this kind of play. Even in a small Broadway theater, the play might get lost, it does not come with a star, and it has an ugly side to it that might make "Broadway" audiencex uncomfortable. The audiences that now attend the Public, Playwrights Horizons, Signature, et.al would be much more receptive to it.

After Eight attributing his personal opinion to the entire audience for every show he sees might LITERALLY be my favorite thing that happens with regularity on this board.

After Eight,

Why do you keep going to the theatre? You long for the old days. You hate everything. Save your money and stay home.

I imagine I speak for EVERY OTHER person in that theater when I say speak for yourself. How in the hell would you know what the entire rest of the audience thought of the production? I can't even imagine how quickly and vigorously you'd jump down someone else's throat if they posted that statement, or something similar. You are the worst kind of troll there is.
