I have read some absolutely hideous reviews for this. Anyone seen it yet? I figured Mary Louise Parker would get some love & good notices, but not really. New York Times HATED it. USA Today wasn't fond of it either.

I'm happy that I'm just a couple of hours train ride away from NYC now so I may can catch a show or 2. YEA ME!!

It's probably the worst review Brantley has given a show since 'Dance of the Vampires':

"One of the worst revivals I have ever, ever seen".

No beating around the bush.

I have to say, Brantley's review cracked me up.

I too thought it was a hilarious review. I half expected him to stand up in the middle, yell WTF, throw his program on the stage, then leave and slam the door. He just may have! haha

I didn't really think Parker was right but some of the reviews were too bad.

I rented the movie with Glenda Jackson and she was great.
