Saw Top Girls last night on Broadway (also saw Tina Fey! Besides us, she was the youngest person in the audience, so no one recognized her except us!) I thought the show was brilliant. The actors really showcased what craft goes into creating a role. The roles of Angie/Pope and Marlene, as well as Kit the young girl were personal stand outs, showcasing how to craft based on utilizing your Voice, Movement, and Acting skills. The impediment work with Angie was impeccable. One critique I have is that technique somewhat muddled Joyce's performance. (She also played the Scottish traveler) in that her dialects were so perfect that it was too difficult to understand her. I hope all other shows we see here are as good as this one.
A Laundry List of Things that Happened Yesterday:
Two NY Style Pizza Slices, Kirsten Dunst in a 70's movie, heels almost breaking, Starbucks bathroom waits, waits for the tour bus, waits for the tour boat, waits for the tickets in line, waits for the subway, waits waits waits. Penne and Vodka sauce, Oh no we missed So You Think you Can Dance!
