Toucan Play
We considered it a privilege to see this play in previews, with new pages being still inserted on a daily basis. This major new work by Sater, a bittersweet ode to New York which is World Premiering in Los Angeles away from those sensitive East Coasters, is a delight. The series of interlocking stories is a world of characters eluding human contact: cellphones, language barriers, intersections of madness, homeless, and the working borderline. Skillfully performed, the ensemble puts on a master class in character acting, lead by the versatile Caroline Aaron in multiple standout roles. It will be interesting to watch this play develop.Written on Jul 09 2010

Just didn't get it. Sorry. Can't even give it an "Okay" rating. Problems with the level of performance by actors, and well as with the direction. Show was not ready for public viewing -- and I went on closing night!Written on Aug 09 2010

This play has a lot of things for just nothing.The story is boring, the set designe is not good, the whole play is so much mess. Sorry but everybody talk about a good casts, ofcourse here and most of the plays have the fantastic casts, actually,the whole Los Angeles theatres have the most fantastics casts...but, how about stories, really not matched with these much talented casts in LA.Written on Aug 09 2010

Highly capable actors are given material not yet worthy of the Rogue's usually high standards. While a few of the scenes are standouts, in many the writing needs work.Written on Jun 27 2010
This was only a preview. Hopefully by the time you see it, it will have received the tweaking it deserves.

Description
Bitingly funny entertainment as twenty-one characters, portrayed by four actors, wind their way through each other’s lives during one long day and night in Manhattan. This insidiously devastating and modern Our Town ultimately reveals who we are now and how we live.
Steven Sater won the Tony Award for Best Book and Best Score, the Drama Desk and Outer Critics’ Circle Award for Best Lyrics, the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album and the 2010 Olivier Award for Best New Musical for Spring Awakening. Other awards include the Dramatists Guild Hull-Warriner Award, the Lucille Lortel, New York Drama Critics' Circle, and Drama League Awards for Best Musical.
His plays include the long-running Carbondale Dreams; Perfect for You; Doll (Rosenthal Prize); Umbrage (Steppenwolf New Play Prize); A Footnote to the Iliad (New York Stage and Film); Asylum (Naked Angels), and a reconceived musical version of Shakespeare’s Tempest (Lyric Hammersmith). In addition to Spring Awakening, he has collaborated with Duncan Sheik on Umbrage (HERE); Nero (Magic Theatre, New York Stage and Film); The Nightingale; the critically acclaimed album Phantom Moon (Nonesuch); and a new musical version of Alice in Wonderland. Sater is currently at work with Serj Tankian (System of a Down) and Burt Bacharach on new musicals. Additionally, he works as a pop/rock lyricist and a screenwriter (the forthcoming Chitty Chitty Bang Bang remake for Sony Pictures).
