I am not expecting any good reviews for the snoozefest.

Is it just me...or is there very little "buzz" about this play?

People have to attend the show for there to be buzz, and this is the only show on Broadway that did a full week of shows and didn't crack $100K

The reviews would have to make this seem like the second coming for them to make any sort of difference in numbers.

Scroll down for a report on a talkback after the show, where the producer promised another set of tickets to the crowd, who then got stiffed!

That may have just been a misunderstanding. The talkback I attendend simply offered us the code for the discount to post on social media if we were so inclined to get our friends to come. They were begging us to do this.

And no, I don't suspect this will get much praise from the reviews and will likely post a closing notice very soon.

Weren't they also saying they were Pulitzer nominated a couple weeks before the nominations were released?

I'm thinking that maybe the play was shortlisted, and the producer thought that meant it was a finalist.

btw this is currently on the site which must not be named for most of this week.

I'm sure her performance or cache was the reason for bringing this to Broadway? But no way she's going to beat Audra or Cherry Jones.

I'm not even betting she'd be getting nominated.

Is this the sequel?

Looks like it aint long for this world. Glad we saw it as we totally disagree with those on the board and the media in their putdown of the show.

With the best title of any Broadway play this season, two always-impressive actors as the cast, and a theme of loss and aging that hits close to home, “The Velocity of Autumn” is the sort of play you want to root for, even when its premise is preposterous, and its outcome predictable.

I just love Estelle Parsons...I loved her in August Osage County too.

Might have had a better chance of survival if it opened Off Broadway.

Brantley would have CRUSHED this.

[Mr Roxy]

Posted: 4/21/14 at 11:07pm

This is a review and not the normal hatchet job by Brantley. It actually critique's the show and does not rip it to pieces. Brantley would not have had such an informative review. He would have put in the knife and twist it.

It basically has a favorable review from the Times so it may help.

^ it made 96k last week, it could have gotten a rave from the times and it would still be doomed, they will foolishly hold out for the tony nominations and will close at a huge loss.

The reviews weren't bad. Most of them said it was just an "eh" kind of show.

I know, I know. I hate myself for asking, but is there a show curtain?

No.
