Privacy Previews (Spoilers Inside)

Anyone??

What was the running time?

Thanks AK. Don't know if the time will fluctuate with the interactive segments. But I don't want to know too much. Seeing it in a couple of weeks.

how is Radcliffe? How do you compare his performance to his other stage performances?

Interesting Relevance. Do you have a Radcliffe performance you prefer?

I saw this tonight. I think it's a highly fascinating topic, very witty, and will really likely be controversial among audiences. Personally I was entertained an highly intrigued with the audience/cell phone interaction as well as some funny moments with audience interaction. I ultimately recommend it (if you can get a ticket, I think the run is sold out).

For those who have seen it and will see it, I'm curious to hear what others may think about a broadway transfer. The set is extremely simple, the cast is great (Rachel Dratch is in this! and hilarious) and considering it focuses around technology I think speaks to a relevant and current audience. We'll see how the reviews look as well. Happy to answer any questions if you guys have them!

You know how sometimes people will say "I'd watch [so-and-so] read the phonebook"? This show is as close as any of us are likely to get to that LITERAL situation. Lucky for me, "I'd watch Daniel Radcliffe read the phonebook!" I love Daniel Radcliffe as an actor and he does a great job in this.

The show was...interesting. For the most part, it was fun to watch, and to be able to participate. The writing is really not that good at all, and the attempt at giving us an actual plot line was kind of pitiful, almost on par with Paramour's plot.

However, I appreciate the fact that this was a unique piece of theatre, which incorporated technology in a way that I've never experienced. On one level, it was an effective gimmick. However, on a deeper level, the incorporation of technology and personal information was also integral to the show's message and structure. I always appreciate a show that takes advantage of the the theatrical medium, doing something that could not possibly be done on film or in writing.

Also, I should say again, I really did ENJOY watching it despite the quality of the writing. The only part that bored me was the chunk of Act 2 that takes a turn for the serious. For those who have seen it, it was the section of the show about...

I was also there last night, and I enjoyed myself. The writing and the ex-romance plot weren't the best, but I still found it funny and entertaining. The interactive bits with the phone and research were also enough to keep me engaged, and I found those bits very interesting. As for the plants, there were only two out of the people called up. Also way to blow it with the plants. Guess you didn't stay after the curtain call to hear the speech about not sharing that bit online, or more likely you just don't care.

I went this past weekend and I did like it. I didn't find it too preachy/informative except for maybe one scene in Act 2, which could be trimmed. As far as content, I know/understand basic technology privacy knowledge, but I was still interested in what was presented. The storyline is flimsy, but I actually didn't mind too much (moreso in Act 1 than Act 2).



The cast was great. We all know Dan's the main character but the supporting cast works well, portraying different experts/speakers/characters (fictional & non-fictional). There were bits of improv which was handled nicely & as seamless as possible.



Now, in terms of audience participation since it's been noted in the show's description, I feel like there are three levels (the first two aren't really spoilers as they're kinda implied by the show's description; I did hid the third as it's a little more detailed) :



1) None - you can just sit there, not have your phone, don't need to shout out anything, etc. I don't think by not doing anything will make you feel like you're missing out. You might be included in something as an audience member as a whole, but you don't need to do anything if you don't want to.



2) On-the-spot Active - there are moments when the cast breaks the fourth wall and addresses the audience to do something on your phone, such Google something and then shout out your search result... this happens just a handful of times, more during Act 1 than Act 2, if I remember correct.



3) Pre-determined Active -

Overall, I felt it was worth going and I'm hoping to try to rush it later in the run to see what changes they make.

I was there last night, and I have to say I was riveted. I plan on going back to see changes later in the run. Could Act 1 be trimmed a little? Sure. Could there be more actual character development? Sure. But I'm not complaining. I was on the edge of my seat basically the entire time, but especially during Act 2. This is definitely a show that people should experience, whether they'll enjoy the actual play or not. I think it's just so absolutely clever that it's worth going to support the creative team if nothing else.

There are a handful of seats available for tomorrow's matinee.

Would the show be appropriate for a 12 year old in your opinions?
