Revisited the show tonight.
Was curious to see how crowded it would be after the opening, and mostly positive reviews.
Well, the house was packed, and so was the ticket line before the show !!! Rosie Perez was in the audience (Roma Torre as well)
Crowd ate it up !!!
Show might become my new guilty pleasure.
Do we have a "Love Thread" yet !!!???

Posted: 5/6/08 at 11:24pmI'll get on the love bandwagon. I went to the premiere and thought the show was fabulous; I want to go back and see it again already! I'm glad it's doing well.

Tonight, the brilliance of Rylance really hit me.
Imagine him and Butz in a show together??!!!
WOW !!!

speaking of Butz
did anyone notice that at a few points during the show - Whitford sounded a lot like Butz [more specifically his character in Is He Dead?]

Posted: 5/7/08 at 8:32amLove the show. Told all of you that you would, too, after seeing it almost a year ago in London. Glad to see that my prediction was correct.

Was anyone else there last night?
************* SPOILER ALERT *******************
During Robert's "kissing scene" with Gretchen (when he is basically trying to keep her from spilling the beans), he must have done something (facial gesture?), but Mary McCormack was trying her best to not crack up !!! (which lead to Gina Gershon trying to stop laughing as well !!)
The crowd noticed it, and everyone in the audience was laughing.
Didnt notice it the first time, but McCormack must have thrown Rylance around 3 feet in the air during the scene when she is trying to get at Bernard. Hilarious !!

Posted: 5/7/08 at 12:27pmSome of the best SNL moments are when they start cracking up, and nobody seems to mind. That sounds awesome, Testing. I love the entire cast of BB. Seriously, there's no one I dislike.

The crowd was so into the show (which was VERY cool!), that everyone noticed that SOMETHING was going on !
A number of people starting clapping.
Great stuff !

Posted: 5/7/08 at 4:27pmTesting, we were there last night. Their laughing was one of the best parts. Mary McCormack was wonderful. I'm so glad we got to see the show!
Gingerbread houses along golden, frothy canals. Like Venice... only different?

Posted: 5/7/08 at 7:11pmI am thinking of bringing my 13 year old nephew. Is it appropriate for him?
#21re: 'Boeing-Boeing' Tonight...
Posted: 5/7/08 at 7:38pmTo my recollection nothing is direct enough that it would be inappropriate.

Count me among those who love the show. Even at the first preview, it was very tight, and well-performed. I can only imagine what it's like now that they've been doing in front of an audience for a little while.
I can't wait to go back and see it again- probably in June sometime!

I saw the show this afternoon and it was so great. Absolutely hilarious with a top notch cast!
And I love the set and the way they use the colors even before the show starts. Not to mention all the familiar tunes in what I assume was French.
