There was a production of this in...1988(?) that you was great and I think you would have enjoyed. Spalding Gray, Eric Stoltz, Penelope Ann Miller and lots of Broadway character actors.
enjoyed the minimalistic set and the idea of using imaginary props, really liked Jim Parson ` performance and oh Julie Haltson..awww i just love her in anything ! She is always amazing !!!! Real Star !!!!
I was on the fence abut the imaginary props. Some of the actors were better mimes than others and there's something odd about a person sipping an imaginary glass of ice tea while having a conversation. I may try it later today when I meet my friend for drinks. :-)
As a lover of Our Town, I didn’t think that it worked as one act. They raced through certain scenes, infused humor where there shouldn’t be, then missed humor where it should have been, and the whole thing felt a bit flat. I’m glad I saw it, but I’ve been more moved by community productions of the show, if I’m being honest. I’m all for new takes on classic pieces, but this production missed the mark for me.
I absolutely agree that there should have been a lot more laughs in the first two acts. There were moments when I thought, "That should be funny." Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
@@MatthewHardyMusical : "Our Town" put me to sleep years ago. I found it boring, and over-rated. I can't believe Albee, of all people, called this the BEST PLAY!!! He's out of his mind. I'm glad they cut it down to 105, but even you were BORED!!!!

Was Spalding the narrator? Yes, I would have enjoyed that!
@@MatthewHardyMusical Yes he was. I saw in December 1988. It was at the Lyceum.

Thank you!
You're welcome!
Our Town’ felt outdated. A fresh approach might connect better with audiences
100% Audiences don't have the attention span that they had in 1938

@@BroadwayGuy Yeh but better bored for 105 minutes than 200. lol. And I wasn't bored the whole time. Mainly that first act!
Parson was in The Boys in the Band which also edited for time
I remember enjoying that production.
@@MatthewHardyMusical yes that was a great night in the theater and you did not miss what they cut
Had no interest in seeing this play. Now I definitely won’t.
Yeh, if you're not interested in this play then this production isn't going to change your mind. Go see something you're excited about!
