Other Plays

Just getting around to writing about some other plays I’ve seen this year.

Let’s start with Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. Ugh. I spent the whole play squirming in my seat. If I wasn’t with a group of friends, I would have stood up, shouted at the actors on the stage to “DO BETTER WORK”, and left half-way though. 

I couldn’t hear the actors; they were straining their voices; their accents went in and out; there was no humor in the play. It was three hours of boring.

The only consolation was that when the cast came out for their bows, they had the decency to look ashamed.

Next, I saw A Flea In Her Ear. It was off-off-off-off-off Broadway. It was also pretty terrible. The play itself is very funny. It’s farcical, and fast paced, but the play was slow, and boring.

Lastly, I saw Annie! And OH. MY. GOD. SOOOOO GOOD! I saw the understudy Annie, and she was AMAZING! All the little girls (10 and younger) were better than the adults. If I were the regular Annie, I’d never let that understudy go on. 

Next couple of weeks - I’m going to see The Dance of Death, and Pippin. More on that later!

“Hands On A Hardbody”

Thomas and I went to see this musical last night. It was it’s last night of shows. We were both surprised that it didn’t get better reviews. It was a fun and funny play, with some great songs.

It was based on a true story, and they made a documentary out of it. Then came the musical. 

I haven’t seen the doc, but I hope they bring the musical back!
