Nadine, so sorry that your preview date was canceled! Such a disappointment.
Someone else was in your position (sort of) last night:

The Bespoken: For Gentlemen: Guy And Dolls: The Very First Review

Quote:

...Most individuals would have cried bloody murder and threaten litigation. They would be well within their rights. That being said, I with my charm and wile, and my sister-in-law with her moxie and chutzpah undeterred, ingratiated ourselves with a producer who feeling our anguish allowed us to stay for a dress-tech rehearsal. In fact, we were the only civilians allowed in the Nederlander to view the show as it currently stands. This is a theater goes dream!

...The cast after hours of rehearsal, kibitz and cajole one another. Oliver Platt and Lauren Graham cuddle and tease each other. So much so that a stagehand compares them to Porkie and Petunia, Graham without missing a beat retorts, “Are you comparing us to pigs? They are in good spirits, and seem to be having a fine time. Graham appears in black tights, a pair of Uggs and a grey hoodie. Yum! She is the only cast member out of period costume, but is completely in character, completely Adelaide. As 10:00, approaches and number repeated five or six times over, there was no temperament displayed. No voice was raised. No Lupone dramatics. It is a cohesive ensemble.

...Speaking of Adelaide, Graham may never be a “Broadway” performer, at times, she wrestles with Adelaide, and elects to play her with guileless charm and girl next-door sex appeal. (Think Vivian Blaine.)Graham who turned in seven years of good performances as Lorelei Gilmore on the WB’s “The Gilmore Girls”, and is always a pleasure in any supporting film role. Unfortunately, the comely Ms. Graham was born several decades too late. Graham incarnates Eve Arden, Carol Lombard and Jean Harlow. And while doing so belts out a number without the phone artifice of a “character” voice. It is her voice we hear. It is an awfully nice voice too...

Katka, thanks for the article with the linked vid!

Aww, now that's a review that I like (I hear Katka squee in her office lol).

Thanks for bringing it over gjoni.

**Danke** · 02-04-2009, 01:45 AM

thanks gjoni, but can someone translate it into simple english

some sentences are easy but sometimes I don´t get what the writer means at all. So I didn´t get if it´s positive or not.

Im laughing at myself now.

Eta: oh, am I supposed to squee? loool so it´s positive?haha. I should probably read it all, not just the quote gjoni posted.

perrygraham · 02-04-2009, 01:49 AM

Lol, it's positive Katka. It basically says that the cast loves each other and that Lauren (besides looking hot lol) is a great Adelaide with her own voice.

This one gives me hope.

Comparing Oliver Platt to Nathan Lane or Lauren Graham to Faith Prince is an unfortunate task. Unfortunate for the besainted Lane and Prince.

lancer1993 · 02-04-2009, 03:21 AM

Uggs are nice
