i saw cate blanchett last night! i don’t think i have ever seen a better dramatic performance. i came to the theater with very high expectations, and i left completely esthetically fulfilled. she was unbelievable, and kept us all focused for the duration of the whole over 3hrs play.
the theater was also very architecturally interesting. i have never been in the harvey theater in brooklyn (part of bam) until yesterday. the audience was notable as well. some high society members taking a trip to brooklyn on their limos and car services, some faces that you look and can’t quite remember where you’ve seen them – was it in a magazine, was it on tv.. it seemed all the new york intelligence was there.
we went to a coffee house that was so similar to the no longer existing coffee house where we met. a very nice evening on a cold winter day.
has everyone heard of this play coming out besides me??? I'm so jealous!!!! My friend told me about it after she went to see it the first week that it was open. Tickets now are over $250/each!!!! I love the theater, but that's a bit nuts!!! How come I missed knowing about it ahead of time???
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm very upset. And yes, I've checked for tickets everywhere!!! and yes, I'm very jealous and happy that you enjoyed it! :)
sorry, i should have told you. i got the tickets during the 1st hr they went on sale a while back.
ReplyDeleteYes, you definitely should have told me. I just got quoted a price of $1,150 for tonight's performance (for ONE ticket!). . . Grrrrr!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you enjoyed it. I was going to go see it, but never got around to it. I guess I have to contact my supplier for a video ;-)
ReplyDeleteNot the same thing though. Awesome!
btw you saw something really historic bc not only did you see Cate, but the play was also directed by Liv Ullman, who herself is an amazing actress.
