 Witty, Sep 23, 2010 |
| reviewer: Figaro from New York City |
| Mamet proves his reputation as the 'Andy Warhol' of theatre - a truly unique play with 26 witty stages in an hour and half. TR keeping up with Stewart was breathtaking to watch - the duo fit so well with the script it's hard to tell how much is real vs a purely the act. |

 Love the actors, like Mamet, Oct 16, 2010 |
| reviewer: Carole from Mississippi Gulf Coast |
| This is a Mamet play and it is from 1977. Anyone who knows Mamet should know what to expect. Both Patrick Stewart and T.R.Knight were spot on in their portrayals of these characters. Their rapport was real and their quick exchanges were done with a bit of tongue in cheek when I saw the show from the second row. It was obvious they were having fun. It is a lighter piece. Last year, I saw 'Race' in previews, and it had it's kinks to work out. Mamet is not for every one. Perhaps those of you panning the show, should try to find out a bit more about the work you're going to see. That way, when there's no fireworks or show girls, you won't be disappointed. |

Very funny!, Sep 30, 2010 |
| reviewer: Iluvbway from NY, NY |
| Patrick Stewart was as AWESOME as usual. And TR Knight's performance was a wonderful surprise. Audience laughed the entire time. Really entertaining. Go see it. |

A GREAT night out with A Life in the Theatre, Oct 26, 2010 |
| reviewer: Wes from Hartford, CT |
| My parents, wife and I LOVED this show, it was a great night out -- Sir Patrick and TR are prefectly cast in this comedic look at some of the experiences and gaffes that occur both on- and off-stage. It centers around the timeless theme of a mentor-mentee relationship and how the roles reverse (as they always do!) throughout the play is very touching. |

 Anemic, Sep 22, 2010 |
| reviewer: Ann Marie from NYC |
| A few friends and I saw this last night and it was such a good idea--that is until we saw it. It was bland and anemic. Luckily each scene was short so we could be kept awake with the costume changes and guessing which play they were playing. I KNOW we should have been paying attention to the plot but I got the feeling that somelost the plot when producing this. My friend's husband fell asleep and my boyfriend was too sick to attend. Lucky fellas. |
