Back from a very difficult early part of the day, a wonderful performance of The Brain, about which more later, and seeing Noel's show, which I enjoyed, and whose cast is first-rate all the way. We then met up at the Brooklyn Diner - I hadn't eaten all day, so I had a salad and a bacon cheeseburger and fries, although Miss Karen stole most of them. The Diner was the scene of incredibly ribald and raucous behavior, and I must say that the 5'10" beautiful Samantha, not only held her own but was frequently leading the pack. Most amusing bit - when the entire table sang Iowa Stubborn and then went into Ya Got Trouble. Many photographs were taken so I'm sure they'll be posted.
Also, FJL will post the link the the nytheater.com review - it's pretty terrific - not without some criticisms, but clearly they really liked the show and LOVED the cast. And he'll also post the link to the NY Times reviewlet - not very long, and not without criticism, but essentially positive, and how many just out of college young men get their names in a NY Times review?
