Members Lucky Posted November 16, 2012 Members Share Posted November 16, 2012 Theater critics can be harsh, at times, and why not? Some shows suck. WSJ critic Terry Teachout did not like the new Broadway musical The Performers, starring the studly Cheyenne Jackson, who plays a porn star. My first clue on this was the remark: By intermission I was positively panting for a nude scene, though I would have settled for a cyanide capsule. And, if that were not enough, he concludes his review by saying: You get the idea? That "The Performers" is being done on Broadway is a mortal insult to the intelligence of anyone who ventures within 20 blocks of the Longacre Theatre. We're talking major, major awful here, a surefire candidate for the What-Were-They-Thinking Prize of 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lucky Posted November 16, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 16, 2012 In other theater news, a drunk patron at the Paul Rudd play "Grace" was sitting in the front row of the mezzanine the other night when he vomited all over the people sitting below. The show didn't miss a beat despite the commotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lucky Posted November 16, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 16, 2012 No such luck. He was treated by paramedics after being removed from the theater. Patrons were given paper towels to clean themselves. One woman failed to clean up: (not an actual patron) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lucky Posted November 17, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 17, 2012 The Performers will close on Sunday, only 7 performances on thee official run. They did a lot of previews. I almost bought a ticket for $127 + fee, total $137. Thank you moderators for sending the hand of Twink down to stop me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
