First preview February 8. Will the blizzard warning make the fiest preview the show I have a ticket for on Saturday?

I can't wait to see Lana Banana in this. American Horror Story fans will understand the reference.

For a dress rehearsal, it was very tight. There aren't many moving parts, so it makes sense that everything went smoothly. I'm not usually a fan of Sarah's, but I thought she did quite well. And Danny is always excellent. The real low point is the play itself. It feels a little stale.

The play feels stale? It only won the Pulitzer Prize.
Ummm....then again, so did Water by the Spoonful.
Errr, never mind.

"Stale" doesn't mean good or bad. Some plays don't hold up perfectly over time--even Pulitzer Prize winners.
I'll be there tonight.

Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Just came back....Danny is amazing.....I liked it a lot. Not my favorite but quite good and I didn't find it stale at all.
Small hiccop at the beginning and Danny handled it beautifully.

I saw today's matinee as well and loved it. I thought both Danny Burstein and Sarah Paulson were superb, and I enjoyed the play very much.

So what happened at the beginning? Did Danny forget his lines from all the kibbitzing he was doing? Why did he start all over. He is so likeable, I thought it was part of the play a first.

that he starts all over and say gesunheit to someone who sneezed in the audience.

I don't know/remember about the gesundheit part, but that he starts over again and does the whole first section in double time is part of the play.

When I saw the original production, the third or fourth cast was playing it, and it was lifeless, tired, not compelling. When I read the script, I fall in love with its depth, its heart, and its connection to FIFTH OF JULY, a play I'm besotted with, as always. I would love to see it in rep with JULY (and the third play, name escaping me), where the three might present an extraordinary portrait of Wilson's world. I wish this production well. The play certainly deserves a revival, and these actors seem almost ideal.

The third play you are trying to recall is TALLEY & SON.

Pammylicious, nothing went wrong; the only thing Danny added was "Gesundheit" (in response to an audience member loudly sneezing), which was hilarious (he also repeated the "Gesundheit" in his double-time version of the opening).
Auggie, I love the idea of doing those three shows in rep. I didn't realize Talley's Folly was connected to two other plays, but based on how much I enjoyed seeing Talley's Folly, I'd expect the other two plays to enhance the experience.

I thought Talley's Folley was charming and sweet, very well acted. Theater was small enough to maintain intimacy.
