OK - someone expressed an interest, so here's my quick and dirty review of Two Gentlemen of Verona. It is probably also a review of the new Guthrie (which is coming a few years too late).
Loved the show. I had not read or seen Two Gentlemen before, so I was not familiar with the plot. They set it as a 1950s teenie-bopper movie, which worked out really well. That genre really matches the story line.
Now, onto other things: those seats are NOT comfortable. My back began to hurt partway through the first act. It's like sitting on a bench, only with less room.
Also, why are the bathrooms hidden? For a theater that has a bunch of "cool" things, those are the most boring bathrooms ever.
Anyway, it was a good night out. It cost us very little and we had a good time. I recommend having a hot date night with your special someone.
I don't know if the men's rooms are this way or not, but the lighting in the women's restrooms is pee-colored. This means that no amount of looking at the seat will reveal what's on it.
ReplyDeleteI really, really disliked the new Guthrie at first. I'm still far from sold on it, but it is ever so slowly growing on me. (Did I mention slowly.)
