Off Broadway (and sometimes Broadway) Reviews and Information.

This is one of the wonderful things about off-broadway

One of the many very interesting things that occur off-Broadway is the chance to see people you may be familiar with from TV or the movies in an intimate setting. One such chance is coming up with a show called "Voice Lessons."

It starts Laurie Metcalf from Roseanne fame and French Stewart from Third Rock From the Sun fame.

I haven't seen it, but it looks and sounds fun. I quote.

VOICE LESSONS
by Justin Tanner
Featuring Laurie Metcalf, French Stewart and Maile Flanagan

"Playwright Justin Tanner infuses his quirky insight and jaundiced sense of humor within the hilarious machinations of self-deluded community theater actress Ginny (Laurie Metcalf) and her catatonically despairing vocal coach Nate (French Stewart). Complicating proceedings is the intrusion of Ginny's theatre rival, Sheryl, played to the self-righteous hilt by Maile Flanagan...(The play) is unhinged." - Variety

"Laurie Metcalf gives a performance that must be seen to be believed. I sat through it and am still not sure what passed before me...Metcalf and Stewart know how to work every moment of this 60 minute show!" - L.A. Times
