Barack Obama showed he is man who knows how to keep a marriage together by making good on a promise to his wife Michelle. The President had promised his wife during the campaign that he would take her to New York for dinner and a a Broadway show.
The Obamas broke from their Friday evening date-night tradition and hopped flight to New York City Saturday afternoon. The President and Mrs. Obama dined at Blue Hill Restaurant in the West Village. After that they went off to Times Square to watch the Saturday evening performance of “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone”.
“Joe Turner’s Come and Gone”, set in 1911, tells the story of a black American, Herald Loomis who, after serving seven years hard labor, journeys to the industrialized North with his daughter and arrives at a Pittsburgh boarding house. The play centers is fullof Loomis’ recollectionof his migration and the memorable characters who aid him in his search for inner freedom.
As soon as I heard about new Yasmina Reza’s play, God of Carnage, I could not wait to see it. I saw her art years back. You cannot forget it. On top of the exciting prospect of seeing her new play, I was fascinated with the incredible set of Aces in the production: James Gandolfini, Hope Davis, Jeff Daniels and Marcia Gay Brown. I was a little puzzled with the idea of bringing together four such powerful actors and how to prevent them from overpowering each other on stage.
Is it a comedy? Is it a drama? It is LIFE. It is everything that surrounds us and it is funny, tragic, dramatic and REAL. The problems raised in this wonderful play are so realistic, that I cannot see anybody in our society who could not relate to some of the issues one way or another.
The ensemble of actors performed like a well-oiled machine, from the first dialogue to the last. You could not say who was better, because they worked as a wonderful, flawless team.
I am especially pleased with work of James Gandolfini. He did not stand out even though I expected it knowing his previous part in The Sopranos. He was a part of the quartet, not a soloist. Wonderful job, James!
Hope Davis was so gracious and kind, she came out from the back door after the show to sign the autographs. She thanked everybody for coming! On request from one of the fans, she recited her last sentences.
Thank you God of Carnage production team for the wonderful time and memories that will be with me for years to come!
God of Carnage currently will run though August at Jacobs Theater in Times Square, New York.
See the metrony.com Review Crew girls as they test out the Times Square Toys R us Ferris Wheel (just days after seeing the film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off!). But Alas! Something scary happens in the store and it is caught on video! See it here!
Toys “R” Us in Times Square has hundreds of toys for sale. The toys there are new to old, electronic to wooden.
