Save your money, Sep 24, 2010 |
| reviewer: Showlover from San Diego |
| We were looking forward to seeing this and after five minutes, the end could not come quick enough. Two talented actors only made this tolerable and not total misery. |

Dreadful waste of time, Sep 28, 2010 |
| reviewer: Bernadette from Queens,NY |
| If we'd have been seated in aisle seats we'd have left after 30 minutes for sure! Nothing happens that couldn't have been predicted after the first five minutes of meeting the two characters. There was no saving this either because the dialogue was boring and the "comedy" was barely slapstick. Forgetting your lines, covering your broken fly zipper with your hand, having your wig slip off?? Like bad tv! |

Who would've thought it could be soooo bad???, Oct 13, 2010 |
| reviewer: TheatreLover from New York, NY |
| On opening night the theatre was filled with stars. However the stars, and the rest of the audience fell asleep. Normally I'd have thought it disrespectful to not clap at the end of each scene, but many of the scenes were less than 5 minutes and it seemed as if the show would never end if everyone applauded at the end of each one (so luckily no one did). The house didn't give an ovation til the 3rd bow by the actors. It was as if the actors (who are otherwise brilliant in their other endeavors) would never leave the stage til the audience rose to their feet. An utter disaster. I can't believe this was a Mamet work. __________________ |

Our entire row was asleep, Oct 05, 2010 |
| reviewer: David from NYC |
| From the very first scene, no one in our group could figure out how this play made it to Broadway. Boringm boring, boring. Good thing it was one act. The theater would have been empty after the intermission. |
