Larry and singdaw - I'm hoping to be at Skip's show tomorrow as well. Since Skip is actually performing in the show, and I know how strong opinions on here can get (see Bukowsical and PB&J), could I respectfully beg that any negative comments be held until after the show closes on August 28?
Frankly, the reviews of the one-act evening have been quite varied. Almost every review picked out a favorite among the evening's variety of one-acts (the musical by Eduardo Machado and Skip is the second piece in the second act, and is the last piece of the performance). And for the most part, when a critic liked one of the pieces above the others, that citic would go on about the piece he or she liked and then just run through the others. The theaterscene.net critic liked Skip's piece AFTERNOON TEA the most of the four; the Times really liked Leslie Lyle's RAIN, HEAVY AT TIMES the most, as did backstage; nytheatre.com liked Warren Leight's AMICI, ASCOLTAT (sp?) the best. And so it went.
