I saw it recently and really enjoyed. I've read the script before and didnt really enjoy it but saw it because of Liev Schrieber. The show is a lot funnier than i remembered it when i read it a few years ago. The cast was for the most part really good.(Liev and the major supporting are all great) I was near the back so the smoke didn't bother me much. I hope you enjoy it

I was planning of posting a review later in the day or tomorrow (and I will get with it once the Monday drama at work ends), but I saw it on Saturday night. I thoroughly enjoyed the performances by Liev Schreiber (HOT), Peter Hermann, and Sebastian Stan (HOT). I can't say I connected with the material 100% (I surely could have done without the monologues...they almost put me in a stupor), but it was by no means a bad night of theater -- with the exception of all of the extremely rude people around me. Definitely stage door -- Liev Scheiber is super nice. Long story short (too late)...some good perfomances, funny in places, not the best thing I've ever seen.

Thanks Melody. I must confess I am curious to see this production & the stage work of Mr. Schreiber. I've enjoyed him in flicks ("WALKING AND TALKING", as a wonderful transvestite in "MIXED NUTS", and in "A WALK ON THE MOON" and "SPRING FORWARD" - where he just breaks your heart.) I missed seeing he and Sigourney Weaver in the 2-character play "THE MERCY SEAT" a few years back. Even though that script didn't wow me when I read it, I heard they were awesome together.
