The Menu film - theatre stars aplenty

It was my favorite movie of 2022, and yeah, I would love to see it adapted to the stage. It could easily work, too, as either a play or a musical.

From the trailers, It wasn’t at all the film I was expecting so when I was laughing my ass off from start to finish, several people in the audience were looking at me like i was insane. Just an insanely brilliant film.

Yeah it was not at all the movie I was expecting from the trailers, and it took me a bit to adjust. Overall I thought it was fine.

Funny, the teaser trailer totally gave me "dark comedy," and that's exactly what I got.

Lol, I'd love to see how the bread plate gag works when the audience is on the receiving end of it.

I didn't catch what they did in Network (I did see it), but if you have a limited amount of tables paying like a $1,000 price point per seat, to receive a version on The Menu courses while the actors are eating them onstage that would be fascinating. The audience class dynamics between the people being served and the people in "cheap seats" might be just as interesting as the play.

Aimee Carrero (who plays John Leguizamo's assistant) is also a regular theater performer, who most recently played Honey in the Los Angeles production of WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? with Calista Flockhart and Zach Quinto.

I felt the same way, I enjoyed it but don't seem to be as in love with it as a lot of people are and not entirely sure the ending completely gelled with me."
