Now I'm not a big "theater enthusiast," mainly becuase I'm not in NY, but I keep on hearing about the play "November." It seems like a very funny play, and it has an awesome cast (Nathan Lane as the president and Laurie Metcalf as his speechwriter...), so what are it's chances at the Tony's?
*And, was it a good play?

I definitely see Nathan Lane getting a nomination for this. A win, I don't know but definitely a nomination. Metcalf might be nominated, but she def won't win.
The only problem with the play is the CONSTANT use of the F word. Now, I don't mind it here and there, but I'm sure 10% of the dialogue in this play is nothing but the F word. It got really old.
Nonetheless, I do recommend it.
