I'm getting senile too. I forget, did I mention I'm seeing [title of show] tomorrow evening? My friend lives across the hall from the creators and he has heard the show through the walls in rehearsal and through revisions. It's closing on Sunday. No word yet, at least that I've heard, on whether it will move. I hope it doesn't move to Broadway because from what I hear it's just not a "Broadway" show. I know it's hard to make money off-Broadway but some shows don't belong on Broadway. There are lots of nice stages available. If it moves I hope it goes someplace small. The Vineyard size is good. It's closing because the Vineyard's next show has to go in and they can't extend anymore. It's why Grey Gardens is closing also. Playwrights has to open the next show, The Busy World is Hushed, with Miss Christine Lahti. Anyway, I babble. I will stop babbling.
BTW, FJL, I agree. I don't think racism was the cause of the Color Purple shutout at DD, although as I mentioned, I do think that La Chanze should have been noticed for her work.
