Silence is most accurate

Who would have imagined that a play about a modern painter would inspire me more than I have been in a really long time?!
I just got back from seeing Alfred Molina perform live on Broadway and it was so totally worth it!!!!!!!!

I've been aspiring to see all of the plays & musicals on Broadway..
So during this past week I've seen three of them, which makes it 13 out of the currently running 35 On-Broadway. There's still a long way to go, but I'm enjoying the ride (:

I must admit that not all of them are actually worth a while...


By now, I've seen 2 of David Mamet's plays and it led me to the inevitable conclusion: I do NOT like his writing!
His plays are recycled into the same sarcastic successful bussinessman trashing everyone in front if him & acheiving nothing in this process.
You may laugh a bit during the show, you may like the cast, but when you leave the theater, you will ask "why?" - why did I waste my time & money on THIS??
I think I'll have to skip his next Broadway play (so maybe not ALL the shows on Broadway).



In order to make up for that awful waste of time, money & energy, I went to see Christopher walken (:
A behanding in Spokane is an intelligent play (unlike Mamet's wanna be play). There was actually a point!
The cast was unbelievable - so worth waiting an hour & a half at 8:30 Saturday morning to get discounted tickets!



But the cherry on top was Red.
Still in previews, this incredible play written by John Logan (who I wasn't familiar with before & gonna make sure to remember the name) is a WOW!



Let the black devour the Red & go to see the show when in nyc.
