Great Performances, Disrespectful Audience
Cat On A Hot Tin Roof
Saturday 8pm, May3, 2008
A well acted drama by "all performers." Boris Kodjoe played
the role of Brick. There was obvious chemistry between the
characters Big Daddy and Brick. Brick showed strong disdain
for himself and of Maggie. Maggie was on fire spilling her
emotions for all to hear and see. Unfortunately, the audience
in the the back orchestra where we were sitting was a huge
disappointment. At times the women in front of us were
talking above Maggie in the first act. After asking for quiet
during intermission we were greeted with the response "we
paid our price for these tickets just like you.'' Sad to see this
behavior. It is disrespectful to the audience and the actors. ... Read more

Audiance Out of Control
The play was wonderful and the acting superb, however, it was nearly impossible to hear half of what was being said (and I was sitting in 5th row orch.) for all the eating, talking, texting, and audience seating throughout the first act and long after both intermissions. Perhaps it would help if the management made a pre-curtain announcement instructing the audience in theatre etiquette. Unless something is done to rectify this situation it's not worth the $100.00 ticket price. ... Read more
Theater Lover
Brick Speak Up - Count Stovall as Big Daddy - NOT GOOD
Ditto as other comments. We were in Orchestra seating on April 10th and could barely hear Brick. I saw Debbie Allen in the balcony - the pitch of his voice is too low. This is theater not a movie set - she should have corrected this by now. Further Count Stovall messed up his lines so much it drove Howard to start laughing. Not funny at over $100 per ticket. If you can't see it with James Earl Jones, lower your expectations. Everyone else seemed to be overacting to compensate for Stovall - perhaps Jones' stage presence was that missed? The gem was Maggie The Cat. Overall - not so impressed and expected to be! ... Read more
