I wanted to not love this show. There's not a single female role in it and from what I've read, there's only one minor walk on role for women in the film. But alas, the show is a great show. Entertaining, powerful, humorous. I can't wait to see the movie since Al Pacino switched roles, taking on the older big shot role this time. In the film, he was the hot shot that ran the place. Pacino was pretty good though at times, his timing was pretty much begging the audience to applaud him more like a clap whore. Bobby Cannavale really stole the show. I hope he gets a tony nomination for this role. Unfortunately, it's a limited Broadway engagement which means that the voters will not get another chance to see it. Also, ticket prices have been outrageous (Ive heard they're going for over $200, but luckily, I got them for $110 on stubhub!)
We had GREAT seats, second row mezz, center section right on the aisle. The only bad part about these seats was the Pacino fanatic sitting in front of us who hadn't showered in days, was the size of a boulder, and had crack for days. Everytime he stood up we got a whiff of him greasy locks and ominous crevice.
I can't say enough about this show that's great. I'm sorry that it's going to close so soon. Previous to this show, we've seen Bonnie and Clyde, The Motherfucker with the Hat, and A Chorus Line here.
