I can't think of anyone who could have done it better. I'll have to see Les Miz. to see if she is as good as everyone is saying, but honestly, I wouldn't be surprised.

That sounds familiar to this Jew from Massachusetts. How many times over the years have you told everyone you know here that you're giving up and going back?

Unfortunate tangent: Wikipedia-ing Vicki Lewis in search of her theatrical resume taught me that she was married to Nick Nolte for a decade. Not sure I needed to know that.

And Alice Dreger @18:

This thread is thriving on corollaries and digressions. So please, drink to your heart's content!

Anne Hathaway's overacting is legendary. Her White Queen in Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" is a slow-motion car wreck of exaggerated gestures, facial expressions, and inflection. I'd hate for her to be rewarded with an Oscar for the very flaw that should keep her 10,000 light years away from one.

It's like when Jerry Lewis was nominated for King of Comedy for portraying a narcissistic asshole. Yeah, that was a stretch. Whoever cast him is the one who should have been nominated.

I probably saw the London show of my own accord, and then saw it in NYC with family.

or was it something, "Well, Skippy and Muzzie wanted to go and everyone else was bored with the Hamptons, so we thought we'd take a flyer..."

I've long wondered: how did you ever wind up in Seattle, anyway?

That said, I don't think Gussow's review was unfair. Ours was a show that was much better in workshops than it was when it opened. It simply got overworked.

Was the Vicki Lewis in your show the same Vicki Lewis who was later on NewsRadio and in that discombobulating Kurt Vonnegut adaptation?

That said, we did get a nasty review from Clive Barnes, who by that time was writing for the Post (or the Daily News... I can't remember.)
