Reviews are starting to come in. I'd post but I'm on a mobile device.

Very much looking forward to reading reviews, as well as first preview reports on Gigi tonight.

An insightful portrait of a generation of women facing old pressures and new challenges...but watching “The Heidi Chronicles” feels too often like being trapped in a trend piece in New York Magazine.

I'm glad that Moss and the production are getting mostly good notices. She's terrific, and so is the play.

The review is respectful and yet honest about the impact of the passage of time on the satirical components that even in the 80s felt better left to SNL (it was never quite as clever or frankly funny as aspires to be in the strictly comedy stretches). But to its audience, the play is usually more important than its parts, in sum or taken separately, and it's somehow reassuring to read the Times embrace of Wassterstein's vision and achievement. Time is a thief, even in the theater. Here robbing us of some immediacy. But maybe it also gives genuine perspective.

So what nominations could this be getting come award season?

Revival of a Play?
Leading Actress in a Play (Elisabeth Moss)?
Featured Actor in a Play (Bryce Pinkham)?
Scenic Design of a Play?

I think Moss and Pinkham are guaranteed nominations at this point, and I imagine it will end up getting a revival nomination, too. I also see Tracee Chimo as a potential wild-card for Featured Actress. Joanne Camp earned a nomination playing Chimo's roles in the original production, and Chimo is superb, justly singled out in many of the reviews.

I LOVED the show and did not find it dated at all. I am not that familiar with Elisabeth Moss but she was excellent and compelling as Heidi. It didn't have that typical feel of a celebrity in a show (just to make box office money) not knowing what they are doing on stage. I think the show is worth seeing just for Bryce Pinkham, he was outstanding and people around me were crying after his big scene. Everyone came to the stage door except Elisabeth Moss, another theater-goer at the stage door told me he waited a few hours to see her come out last time so I get the vibe that if you really want her autograph you will have to wait a long while.
