I've always been a little shaky on old theater lore but I seem to remember that there used to be this phenomena called “overnights” where critics would weigh in on a production the morning after it opened.
Well, it’s not exactly an overnight because the show opened a couple of weeks ago, but the T-D has this review of “Endless Forms Most Wonderful” at the Science Museum in the paper today even though Ms. Haubenstock just saw the show yesterday. Ah, the power of a daily paper!
The buzz on the Internets about “Well” is pretty good after opening last night but I haven’t read a critical perspective yet. Perhaps tomorrow. And I’ll just relate a little bit about my own experience last night. I took in Richmond Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” which basically had me laughing until I was crying. I have a new person to envy and that’s the husband of Stacie Reardon Hall. This is a production where everything is set to 11, including the sensuality part and, if Mrs. Hall brings even half of the lusty energy she shows on the stage home with her, well, Oh My, Mr. Hall must be a happy man.

Indeed I am a very lucky man!
I'm so glad you enjoyed "Midsummer"! It has been a dream to work on (ha ha, get it?)!
Oh, sure, just dump Kerry McGhee for your latest tart. Is Kerry "dead" to you now?
Affection IS fickle, ya know. But I did not by any means disavow any previous crushes I may have acknowledged on Ms. McGee or, for that matter, Ms. Blake or Ms. Shipley or Ms. Steinberg or Mr. Lau. There are SO many beautiful, intriguing, fabulously attractive people in this town, how can you choose just one to crush on?
I am perfectly happy to share the girly limelight with Stacie in this show (interweb hig-five to her). She dials up the sexy in this show to almost unreachable numbers. In fact, so does the rest of the cast. Nice work, dudes.
If I'm going to be in the tank for Kerry McGee, I should at least spell her name right. Her gracious bow to Stacie is just another reason to adore her work and persona.
Glad you clarified that you are adding crushes, not deleting any. Richmond is indeed blessed with fabulous talents. There are just too many good shows going on all at once right now.
