Laughed till I cried!, Oct 04, 2010

reviewer: Ken from Redlands, CA USA

I went to the very first preview of this show and sat in the 11th row. It was delightful from beginning to end. Mark Rylance was off the charts hilarious. I was in NY for a week, and this was the 5th show I saw, and by far one of the best. To those who didn't like the show, you evidently didn't get it. I have never seen anyone funnier than Mark Rylance, but unfortunately for everyone else onstage, he stole the show. I highly recommend it!

Saw it in London and was absolutely entranced by the acting and the play itself. I hope that New York loves it as much as we did.

This play failed the last time it hit NY, Oct 19, 2010

reviewer: Anonymous from New York

I can't believe they brought this play back. The last time it was in NY I think it lasted all of 29 performances.

Dull, Predictable, Sleeper, Oct 19, 2010

reviewer: Limom3 from NY

Sleeper....Saw the play Friday night what a boring play!!! It took 1hr and 45 mins to convey a message that could've taken 5 minutes. The main actor just babbled on, and on, and on....that's it. Jokes were predictable and dull!! Literally, the whole play entailed three actors who stood there and one who talked the entire time for an eternity. oh, and 15 minutes at the end a few more actors came on stage. That was the whole play in a nutshell!! Had to keep myself awake. Begged husband to leave but he said it has to get better....NOT. Thank goodness we didn't pay for these tickets!! Save your money folks.

I give it .5 star only because it's not the actors fault this play is so bad.
