 Brick Speak Up - Count Stovall as Big Daddy - NOT GOOD, Apr 17, 2008 |
| reviewer: Theater Lover from New York, New York |
| Ditto as other comments. We were in Orchestra seating on April 10th and could barely hear Brick. I saw Debbie Allen in the balcony - the pitch of his voice is too low. This is theater not a movie set - she should have corrected this by now. Further Count Stovall messed up his lines so much it drove Howard to start laughing. Not funny at over $100 per ticket. If you can't see it with James Earl Jones, lower your expectations. Everyone else seemed to be overacting to compensate for Stovall - perhaps Jones' stage presence was that missed? The gem was Maggie The Cat. Overall - not so impressed and expected to be! |

 Maggie Speak Up, Apr 20, 2008 |
| reviewer: Louise Bell from Ohio, USA |
| My husband and I were familiar with the story. As classic theater, it was more dated than I expected. Hence the reason for the 3 stars. The acting was wonderful. James Earl Jones and Phylicia Rashad lived up to expectations. We could hear everyone but Maggie. Her acting was fine. She did not project her voice enough to be heard. We missed about half of her dialogue. The brother and sister were great and we would have liked to have seen more of them. They were especially good when their children performed for Big Daddy. A warning is in order for those not familiar with this play. Many in the audience apparently came for the stars not realizing the serious nature of the play nor expecting some of the language from these particular actors. During intermission, there were many shocked comments by others. |

 WE COULD NOT HEAR!, May 01, 2008 |
| reviewer: Jennifer from Upper Marlboro, MD USA |
| I sat on the 2nd row of the mezzanine level, 4/28. I and many of the fans that watched the show intensely could not hear many of the words that Big Daddy was saying. It looks like from the other reviews I read, others couldn't hear, at times, as well. I think the theater could use more microphones and speakers. I was upset to say the least. Also, theater goers need to have more theater etiquette and respect for others and turn "off" those cell phones! RUDE! |

 Great Performances, Disrespectful Audience, May 06, 2008 |
| reviewer: Anonymous from Hartsdale, New York |
| Cat On A Hot Tin Roof Saturday 8pm, May3, 2008 A well acted drama by "all performers." Boris Kodjoe played the role of Brick. There was obvious chemistry between the characters Big Daddy and Brick. Brick showed strong disdain for himself and of Maggie. Maggie was on fire spilling her emotions for all to hear and see. Unfortunately, the audience in the the back orchestra where we were sitting was a huge disappointment. At times the women in front of us were talking above Maggie in the first act. After asking for quiet during intermission we were greeted with the response "we paid our price for these tickets just like you.'' Sad to see this behavior. It is disrespectful to the audience and the actors. |

Cat on a Hot Tin roof, Jun 02, 2008 |
| reviewer: Linda Sunwall from Little Rock, Arkansas |
| We attended Fri - May 30th, 2008 and was very disappointed in the sound in the Theatre. We could not hear the actors in the Mezzaniene -- some of their words were not enunsiated and volume was low. Others around us were complaining as well that they could not understand them or hear them. We would like a refund of our tickets. __________________ |
