SEA WALL/A LIFE to Broadway — Page 4

right - he's one of the worst actors alive which is why he's a big draw for selling tickets and exactly why a company worth several billions of dollars trusted him to star in their big summer 2019 movie. so terrible ):



myself and several others are flying to the US just to see jake in this show just because he's one of our favourite bad actors.



to each their own but i'd say your opinion is unpopular, especially as BroadwayNoob is a jake fan.

I find people who don't care for JG's acting just prefer "polish" and "sophistication" in their actors. They look for a specific "mastery" of craft and technique, as the only (valued) way to get at the essence of a character.

At best it's a personal taste for what's funtertainment. At worst there's a fundamental rejection of what counts as being human in different contexts.

late to reply to this but no stage-door after matinees, especially not on wednesday as there's a post show talk back.



btw it looks like they're teasing something regarding the show in march? my bet is a short west end run but who knows

Well, if that proves true then my September 29th ticket will now not be for the final performance. Still excited either way.

I do have a question since I am seeing a Sunday matinee. Do they do the Q&A after each performance or only on Wednesdays?

Can anyone comment on if they stagedoor Sunday matinees? I can see why they wouldn’t do it after talkbacks or on a 2 show days, but I’m hopeful they would do it on Sunday because they have none of those things.



Very excited to see it regardless.

Damn, seems like it might just be a coin toss then. I suppose I'll just keep my fingers crossed.

I got Broadway Week 2-for-1 tickets for 9/7- there was plenty available.

Interesting that they even did it after a talkback, but very cool! Gives me hope they'll come out when i see it on a sunday :)"

Sorry I meant they came out after the evening show (pretty quick) . The security guard came out after matinee to say they weren't coming out.
