OUCH!"

I feel for him. So much of this production isn’t his fault, but he’s the name, so he gets the blame. Hope it doesn’t make him regret going back to theater. He’s trying to go against type with his HBO show and this, but I’d prefer to see him in something that shows off his personality and his dancing. He needs to embrace the nice guy!

What sucks is that they did not give him a press ticket. He gives really good reviews on his channel and is a legitimate theatre critic.

These are about what I expected, having read and heard from people that have seen it. I’m not seeing this for a couple months and wasn’t exactly “excited” in the first place, moreso just looking forward to seeing Holland on stage now I’m kind of dreading it a bit. 
 

I hope this makes Lloyd update his bag of tricks (or bag of no tricks) because not every show needs it. I’ve enjoyed a couple of his shows, his “Evita” with Samantha Pauly probably being my favorite. I wasn’t as taken by “Sunset” as most everyone was but recognize that people thought his schtick worked for that one in places, I didn’t.

But I’d really love to see what else Lloyd can do besides these no set/no costume $200 a ticket staged readings with Ivo’s cameras.

Reviews seem like they skew positive esp around the performances from Tom and Francesca. Like any Lloyd production its divisive around the staging which I expected

The reviews are giving me "Slings and Arrows" vibes. Darren Nichols liked to suck all the emotion and coherence out of his stage productions too.

I absolutely loved it. I don't care what the critics say - Jamie Lloyd has done it again, and while some of the tricks feel familiar it works. He manages to make what I think is quite a boring play, not-so-boring. And Tom Holland is excellent - at times he might be underplaying the role because he forgets he is on stage not film but if you're sitting closely enough you can look closely at his facial expressions and see he is doing good work. The use of electronic music I found particularly innovative and thrilling.

I walked by the (controlled) mob scene outside the theatre last night as hundreds (it seemed - well definitely at least 100) were lined up behind barricades waiting for Holland to come out into a waiting car whose door was open. It was not as chaotic as I experienced seeing David Tennant in Richard II, only because there were more security people around to control the crowd. it was quite the scene! I would have stopped to take a video, but was being asked to pass through quickly.
