Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike

Holy hell, was this show ever funny! I bought the tickets on a whim for my cousin, my mom, and myself. They had a "Youth rush" so I got the tickets for $37 a piece. I had to ask some kind Canadien man on the street to assist me in buying them as I was only allowed 2 tickets. Yeah for him, whoever he was. This show had everything you could ever want from a Christopher Durang play; outrageous characters and scenarios, and a HOT ass actor half naked for the entire show! Sigourney Weaver was hilarious as a selfish Masha, David Hyde Pierce was great as a tired and angry Vanya, Kristine Nielson was superb as Sonia (not to mention Maggie Smith), and Billy Magnussen was the best eye candy on stage since Nick Adams! 

 We sat LAST row mezzanine which was fine. Sure we were far back, but the Golden is one of the smallest broadway theaters and therefore gives off a super intimate feel. For the price you can't beat it. I've sat in this theater many times now and never had a bad seat.
 One of the best scenarios on stage was deciding on what costumes to wear to a costume party. As the picture shows, there's a lot of Snow White theme going on. I loved every character and I'm planning on going back in less than a month.
