It's not surprising, but baffling.
This play lay on that stage like a dead fish washed onto the beach.
This had to be clear just by reading it.
How could two dynamic actresses have consented to do it? Did they actually think that a) this was theatrically viable, and b) that this would succeed with the public?

It was in fact pretty awful. Patti gave it her damndest but couldn't save this awfully tedious play.

Even if it got rave reviews, I imagine many audience members would feel cheated spending top Broadway dollar for a play that's barely over an hour long. Kind of ridiculous if you ask me.
Maybe they should've made it a two-act evening and paired it with another, older Mamet piece.

What did the little kid on Animaniacs used to say? "Ok I love you, bye bye"?
I know you.
I know you.

Ugh. I had an audience reward ticket for January. I know it's not a good play, but I don't want to miss Patti in a straight play.

Deena Jones , wash your mouth out! Words like that should never been used in public.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Soon to be Broadway-2, Mamet-0, once the Glengarry reviews come out. (Not that the reviews will stop Glengarry at all).

Here's hoping Lupone, Winger, and Mamet all come back soon with renewed vigor. A plotz like this should be a good motivator.
"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.”

This shows that Patti Lupone doesn't sell tix.

^Not really, seeing as she's known primarily for her work in musicals.

Also the reviews were awful. Her GYPSY, even though it closed early and wasn't exactly a gold mine shows that she can still sell some tickets (particularly considering it was so close to the last revival).....plus the Patti/Mandy run sold a few tickets despite being awful. She doesn't have movie-star power, but I feel her name still means something. She just needs the right vehicle.
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Haven't seen it and I probably won't (even though I generally like Mamet) after reading the reviews.
I find it surprising that Debra Winger would choose to make her Broadway debut in this play.
