Posted: 11/9/04 at 4:30pmI'll let you know how it is. It's going from Seattle to Berkley to San Diego. Joe Mantello directing, and T. Scott Cunningham playing Mason Marzac....Gene Gabriel is the only original cast member taking part.

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

I saw it at the Geffen in Los Angeles. Absolutely phenomenal actors. The show wasn't bad either.
It's a wonderful play. And I don't like plays very much, but I was very impressed with this one.

Posted: 11/9/04 at 5:09pmThe play was way too long. However, the penises were also long, so it turned out OK.

Posted: 11/9/04 at 5:14pmHmm. I didn't find it long at 2 1/2 hours. It's too bad there isn't a video production we could enjoy. At home. Alone.

Posted: 11/9/04 at 5:18pmIt was good, don't get me wrong, but I could've used 15 minutes less of it. And, only recently did I find out that Miranda's cutie bf/husband on Sex In The City was in the original cast, NEKEDDDD! And I saw it, but didn't put two and two together...

Posted: 11/9/04 at 5:19pmI didn't find anything long about the 2 1/2 hours either. As a matter the 1 1/2 hours of "Brooklyn" felt longer.

Posted: 11/9/04 at 6:56pmThere's going to be a production of it in Toronto, opening in January. I was just thinking about it, actually. It's not the Mantello production, but Canstage usually puts on a good show (and who could say no to lotsa male nudity?).
