Members Who Went Said:i caught this play on closing night. it was a slow but steady build to the second scene. it was brilliant! the acting was amazing and it was a standing ovation from me. everyone gave their all and we got it. great theatre and i look forward to more plays from this venue. it was my first time there.
Heidi Webber The actors were wonderful. However, it just isn't our type of story. I wouldn't recommend it to people I know. We were very impressed with the intense dialogue and how much of it was delivered with great angst. I don't think that is what we were supposed to come away with. We didn't hate it, we just barely liked it—a little. This was a very intense play. Unimaginable amount of dialoge that had to be memorized by the actors. They did a fine job with the material. Though it was supposed to be happening in LA it has a more New York vibe about it. At least one of the actors has a strong New York accent—not sure if it was his own or was part of the direction. I enjoy live theater and am appreciative that my city has a theatre group who put out provocative and entertaining works. |

More Details About This Event: HurlyBurly is a riveting dark comedy which chronicles the non-events in the lives of a group of fast talking, narcissistic, L.A. based professionals, nose deep in the decadent, perverted, cocaine laden culture that is Hollywood. We follow the characters, who can't seem to slow down long enough to breathe, let alone make sense of their lives, as they pursue their sex crazed, dope ridden vision of the American Dream. The Off-Broadway production, directed by Mike Nichols and starring William Hurt, Sigourney Weaver, Judith Ivey, Christopher Walken, Harvey Keitel and Jerry Stiller, received high praise.
