Sly Fox.......my take

after much debating, i caught the matinee of Sly Fox today and I thought it was a very good production, aside from a few faults. the casting was perfect except for one element: Elizabeth Berkley. She just didn't seem to fit in with the whole production. It didn't come naturally for her like it did for everyone else...It was just too forced. My one other complaint was the staging. I was sitting in the second row of the front mezzanine, with the left boxes blocking my view of stage left, where Prof. Corey was sitting during the court room scene. I kept hearing a voice out of nowhere during that scene, ultimately realizing it was him a few minutes into it. anyone else have the same problem?

I saw it a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it! I thought Richard Dryfus was great! And it was fun to see all the folks I used to watch on T.V.! I was sitting in the front row of the mezzanine, stage right, so I had a perfect view of the professor. I decided after watching him that there is hope for me! I could be on Broadway -- I can memorize a couple of lines and pretend like I am writing.

Saw this awhile back and just loved it! I had the same feeling about Elizabet Berkley as well. She just didn't quite fit the role. Bronson Pinchot and Peter Scolari just stole the whole court room scene. Hopefully I will get a chance to see it again.
