Review/Comment
Doubt, a gripping new drama by John Patrick Shanley. One of the great plays of the decade, this riveting clash of conscience and conviction turns the stuff of headlines into exquisite, engrossing drama. When she suspects a popular and dedicated priest of misconduct with a student, Sister Aloysius takes matters into her own hands. But doubt thwarts all assumptions in this ambiguous mystery, clouding truth with complexity, and righteousness with remorse. “#1 show of the year. A terrific new play with astonishing theatricality.” Associated Press

Event Name: Long Story Short - A Musical Romance

I just saw "Long Story Short" performed in Pittsburgh in its premiere and loved it! As cliche as this will sound, I laughed, I cried, and everything in between during this show. It takes you through highs and lows of the characters' lives and truly invloves you for the entire show. Plus, the music is wonderfully written and not the standard kind of music you hear in more traditional musicals. It holds your interest and helps to tell the story rather than just being "filler." I am a musician, but I had to drag my husband to see this show because he usually doesn't like the theater and knows nothing about music, but even he was pleasantly surprised and has since been telling people how much he liked it. Seeing this has made me want to see and hear other things written by Milburn & Vigoda! Collapse

There wasn't a lot of depth to the story but it was a very entertaining evening and I would recommend it to everyone.

This amuzing song-filled musical and sometimes comedy/sometimes drama is about a maid in the 1960's and the family she works for. The storyline drags a bit in the first act, but the energetic songs fill the void. The strong cast has all-around excellent singing and makes up for the light plot, with an extra nod to Allison Blackwell in the lead role, Julian Hornik, and Valisia LeKae. Some of the lyrics can be a bit corny or downright silly at times, but it all somehow fits into the style of the play. Collapse

I just left this play and I am giving the play a 5 even though the actress had to be prompted a couple of times. To stand before a crowd for over an hour and 40 minutes and tell the story of the remarkable life of Golda with emotion and only need prompted a couple of times is remarkable. She peaked my interest in who Golda was to the point I am at home at 10:30 pm researching on the internet shows she made an impression. You should definately see this play that officially opens this Saturday! Collapse

"Great show"
Review posted by: from San Jose, CA USA, Sep 09, 2007
I saw this with my Girl Scout Troop, and I thought it wouldn't be a good show. It turned out to be one of the best shows I've ever seen! I hope our school does this soon!
