Are you under 30? If so, MCC has a 20 for under 30 program; follow the links on their website to purchase a ticket in advance.

Yeah I know, but it's one per id and my companion is over 30.

The next best thing I got is that NYCgo.com is running a two-for-one promotion for several off-Broadway shows for the next two weeks. THE PRIDE is participating and as of last night, was still available.

From my understanding, the show is selling so well that the Lortel has opened their balcony seating; when was the last time that happened?

Yup when I saw it last Wednesday they had seating in the balcony, so they are definitely doing that for this play.

Don't be a bummer, man. Why didn't you like it? Everyone I've spoken to so far said it was great.

Hey, this "play" could be Hugh Dancy and Ben Whishaw sitting on a bare stage reading from the phone book and I'd still run out and see it ... Just saw this code Revolutionary, and it's good through March 20th, enjoy!

I saw it from the first row of the balcony today -- what fantastic seats! And the most legroom of any front row balcony or mezzanine in town!

Broadway Box has a 30% discount code of PRBB.

I found the play to be horribly stilted. In particular, I found attempts to illustrate moments within the gay rights movement (and the subsequent development of the movement) to be quite superficial. Further, I felt no sympathy towards any of the characters and, as much as I hoped for strong acting, none of the cast was able to evoke the tension the play seemed to ask for. And even though the picture you posted is quite steamy, the sexual chemistry was very dull.

Normally, when I see a director I admire I approach them and thank them for the experience. I was so annoyed with this play that I passed Mantello on the way out and only felt further annoyance at both him and the play.

All of this went away the very next day however. The elixir? The Orphan’s Home Cycle Marathon. I should note, I did thank Michael Wilson at the end of that play for the unforgettable experience he provided me.

I don't mean to sound like a sourpuss...but what did your friends like about this play?

[Revolutionary]

Posted: 2/10/10 at 2:30am

No, that's not sou**** at all.

My friend said it was powerful and thought-provoking and had a nice contrast of funny, endearing moments mixed in with the doom and gloom of the piece. And she said 'that scene' was incredibly intense and heartbreaking, so idk...

Everyone's got different tastes though, and maybe she was biased. But then again, so am I, so all should be good.

Hey--I thought it was intense and powerful and the acting was fantastic! So that's what I like about it...for me anyway, whatever shortcomings the play might have didn't matter because the actors were so damn good. Totally recommend it!

^ And you know what? I wouldnâ??t be shocked if New York critics agreed with you, especially considering the playâ??s lineage (the Royal Court, London). That said, I felt the play was hardly intense (due in part to a lack of dynamics amongst its actors) and never powerful (an adjective I use sparingly). Indeed, at my performance last Friday, each actor had issues memorizing their lines. Mr. Whishaw came closest to knowing his character, and even in this instance, his characterâ??s sketch was based in cliché giving him little chance to create a fully developed persona.

We are each entitled to his or her own opinion, and I am glad you enjoyed this play. I went in wanting to enjoy it; however, sadly, I felt the play was generally conventional and that the author was heedless of the group he attempted to depict.

Hey, remember when this message string was strictly about finding a promo code???


My apologies for digressing, but I hopes this helps anyone on the fences about seeing this play.

Esquire - I think you made the thread about the quality of The Pride by bashing it! But seriously, if the original poster wants some more opinions, check out All That Chat, where lots of folks have seen it. And to each his own...
