I know about the thread, and I appreciate the effort -- but, I've been spearheading the review threads on here for a while now.

Thank you.

Your link sends us to a page with ANOTHER link to a review thread.

Sticking with LimelightMike here. Excited to read what I expect to be extremely positive reviews!

I hope this gets raves across the Board. It's an excellent revival of an excellent piece of theatre, though I am slightly concerned that it may get the mysteriously tepid reception that the wonderful revival of DON'T DRESS FOR DINNER got a few years ago.

This one is 99% positive, the only non-rave comment was for JRB's interstitial music.

I would agree that JRB's incidental music is as bland as his regular music.

I haven't read one intelligent review yet. Yes it's an old play. So is Hamlet. Why can't these people get past that. It's a stunning production of one of the best plays ever written. These reviewers sound like morons.

Ben Brantley got it EXACTLY RIGHT! Thank God.

"vintage screwball comedy" - Peter Marks, Washington Post

an "extravagantly good-natured production"- Linda Winer, Newsday

"the perfect escapist comedy for tough times" -Robert Kahn, NBC New York

If you are talking about me... I must have been typing the same time the other person was and they beat me to posting it.

Thats a love letter from The Times

Moritz Stiefe- Dude, get over it. LimeLightMike's review threads are a BWW tradition... you can count on them to be started for every show, as you will soon learn.

roscoe, it's a well-deserved love letter from the Times.

[loliveve]

Posted: 9/28/14 at 10:54pm

Some quotes from Joe Dziemianowicz, Daily News:

"enduring, endearing and endlessly witty comedy"

"this play tickles the funny bone and touches the heart."

"Kristine Nielsen brings sparkly mischief and off-kilter charm"

"the adorable and hilarious Annaleigh Ashford all but dances away with the show"

"Rose Byrne...is smashing in her Broadway debut."

I'm don't think the Times picked it as a Critic's Choice though. I find that odd after the rave review.

"why do people feel the need to put reviews up more than once"

So people here can get a general consensus of what prominent reviewers are saying.

Very happy to see positive reports for this!

So how many Tonys could this be up for in the spring?

Revival of a Play?
Leading Actor (James Earl Jones)?
Featured Actress (Annaleigh Ashford)?
Direction of a Play (Scott Ellis)?
Lighting Design (Donald Holder)?
Scenic Design (David Rockwell)?
Costume Design (Jane Greenwood)?

It could be nominated for all the awards it is eligible for.

Hey, Mortiz..... it's not about you. Grow up and stop trying so hard.

Do you want a pat in the back for posting a link first? REALLY?

Punctuation is a wonderful thing, btw.

CurtainsUp, I don't think they register whether a show is a critics pick until the next day usually, for whatever reason. Maybe it'll be up there today!

[ShakinBaconGirl]

Posted: 9/29/14 at 7:33am

Wow, Brantley REALLY liked Ashford.
