Joe Mantello is such an innovative director that recent behavior has dictated that I see everything he directs - and this rave review in the Times has solidified that fact. Now, heres my dilemma, how much of the play will I miss - I read its on 2 levels - if I am sitting in the first few rows? I have only been to Laura Pels Theater once back in 2007 I think it was to see Mr Marmalade with Michael Hall and Mamie Gummer.
Hi- I don't think you will miss anything in the first few rows of the orchestra but you will have to look up to see the upstairs of the set. Not many scenes up there but there are a few.
And as far as this reply is concerned- which was aimed at me:
"Let's hear it for The Humans!"
By all means, Ethel, let's hear it for the stinker with the most references to stinking up the bathroom in the history of the theatre.
"Rave from the Times-Isherwood-who doesn't think we'll see a better play this season."
What? Better than John?!!! How can that be? Oh, maybe because that dud offered people eating Vienna Fingers near a Christmas tree, whereas this stinker regales us with recurrent references to fecal matter and cockroaches at Thanksgiving dinner.
Pumpkin pie, anyone?
"Others I've read have all been positive."
Ha ha ha ha ha. Considering how putrid and inept it is, could anyone have expected otherwise?
Do you like to go to the theatre? Have you liked anything? I'm curious. I would like to know a few titles of shows you liked. And why quote my post and remark. Why can't you just post your thoughts on the play. Why the attack or put-down that I must be wrong to like something you don't. I'm really curious as to why people like to put other people down.
As Cloris Leachman once said as Phyllis to Gavin MacLeod's Murray on Mary Tyler Moore: "I'm just going to forget the whole ugly incident ever happened!"
