THE HUMANS Reviews — Page 2

A wonderful set of reviews, exciting for new works everywhere. As for the Tony, I would wait at least until Eclipsed opens. I had the honor of seeing it at the Public, and I think it's one of the most stunningly gorgeous pieces of theatre ever created. I've read The Humans (hoping to see it in the next few weeks) and saw King Charles the Third, but, for my money, Eclipsed is the thing to beat (and it's a story that rarely gets told in any medium, let alone in an all-female, all-black Broadway production). But I can't wait to see The Humans - the ending is weird when you've only imagined it from the stage directions!

So happy for these rave reviews! The Humans only got better the second time around and I hope to catch it a third and fourth as well.

I loved King Charles and look forward to seeing Eclipsed. We should be thankful that this is turning out to be a good year for new plays. Can't wait to see what Karam writes next.

Glad we saw it off Broadway.

I agree with Fantod... The Humans is a beautiful play: elegantly written and wonderfully performed. However, I did like Sons of the Prophet more. It should have won the 2012 Pulitzer over Water By The Spoonful. Easily.

Just a general question: what time would one be out on the street for a 3 p.m. show? Trying to plan on a strict schedule accordingly.

Is anybody going to the talk with Frank Rich about the show at the theater tonight (4/1?

Fantod said: "I saw the show today and thought it was extraordinary. Reed Birney was absolutely incredible, and the writing was about as spot-on as you can get. So glad that something this artistic can make it on to Broadway without a star. If you don't leave the theatre shaking you aren't paying attention.

I thought it was just me... My boyfriend didn't go to the show with me. He was waiting for me outside the theatre when it ended. He took one look at me and said, "You look like you need a drink". I was wound so tight. The ending was tense. I really enjoyed it. The acting and writing were incredible. There's so much humor. I tend to prefer shows without a lot of plot, so this was up my alley.

Kristie, so sorry about your mom.

Does anyone know if Reed or Jayne signs after the show? Mr. Birney is one of my idols.

In the script, it says
