God of Carnage
My take: So entertaining!!! 4 great performances! A very funny play about a two couples coming together to resolve a playground fight involving their children only to find their own behavior being worse than their kids. Tony Soprano's sister sat behind me supporting big bro on stage.
Next to Normal on Broadway
My take: I didn't think I could love Alice Ripley even more than I already did! Such an emotional rollercoaster of a show! SO much better than it was off-Broadway and by far and away the best musical of the year. Mario Cantone, Tom Kitt, and Ken Haller in the house.
Blither Spirit
My take: Delightful performance by Jayne Atkinson! And, what can I say about Angela? Fantastic! And, so spry (especially after being left for dead in that horrid Deuce). Weird seeing Broadway actors crack up Carol Burnett-show-style after a prop mishap by Angela (Angela of course didn't flinch!).
9 to 5
My take: It was exactly what I expected. Definitely not the worst movie-to-musical adaptation. George C. Wolfe in the house.
Happiness
My take: Was the surprise of the weekend! Except for one song/scene, I really, really liked it. Otherwise a great score!
Shrek
My take: About what I expected. Great ensemble of actors.
