Laura Linney is able to memorize and deliver words in a most astounding and authentic fashion as she so remarkably demonstrates in her one-woman carefully constructed and brilliantly delivered performance in My Name is Lucy Barton. If you love Laura Linney, you must GO see her in this play. This post, however, is not about that performance. Rather it has to do with a story around the show. This post is about – eeh gads – karma…
Having had the opportunity to see the play Grand Horizons by Bess Wohl recently, I can with confidence say there is something for everyone on that stage at The Hayes Second Stage Theater…
Took my son to see See Wall/A Life at The Hudson Theatre on Saturday. Amazing performances and an important life lesson all in one night….
The guiding principle for this blog is to share ONLY the experiences that we at Grab Your Group and GO love: experiences that energize and enthuse, so that you can be energized and enthused too. This blog is called Grab Your Group and GO – NOT – Grab Your Group and DO NOT GO – for a reason…
If you want to see some scary good acting with your own eyes – up close and personal thanks to some expert and clever camera work – I would recommend going to see Bryan Cranston in Network…
There were 70 of us gathered Thursday night (just rows from mother/daughter duo Chelsea and Hillary) for three hours to remember why it is we go to the theater. If you happen to be on the hunt for some reasons why one should go to see live theater, you can find about 3,000 of them on stage now at The Ferryman….
Mid-way through American Son it occurred to me that MAYBE it wasn’t my best call to choose this show as our 2019 year opening gamut. Happy New Year group!
Throughout the experience that is Harry Potter and the Cursed Child my brain kept drifting to the thought that Harry Potter and his son Albus would be well advised to grab Draco Malfoy and his son Scorpius and go see Dear Evan Hansen together. A viewing of this show might have offered some pre-emptive strategies for these fathers and sons to better navigate their relationships and consider one another’s father and son perspective.
I was dazzled by Elaine’s May tour de force performance on stage at The Waverly Gallery now. I was also dazzled by her tour de force life. To read more about this (and my mom) read on…!
Recently I had the pleasure of seeing the great Janet McTeer take on the role of the wildly eccentric Sarah Bernhardt (a celebrated French actress of the late 1800s/early 1900s) taking on the mythically proportioned role of Hamlet in her own self commissioned work…
The group on stage at the Iceman Cometh led me to contemplate what it means when I say “Grab Your Group and GO”. The characters in this Eugene O’Neill play represent the antithesis of grabbing your group and going. This is a group that gathers and stays and waits…
Not sure what I was thinking by scheduling three Broadway shows directly on the heels of a long trip to Japan, but I am certain I must have thought it was a good idea at the time. In fact it was a very good idea…
Thank you to all those involved in the production of Farinelli and the King for a perfectly satisfying and sumptuous evening on Broadway….
There was a lot of love flying around on stage last night at the Hudson Theater. Loathing also figured prominently. And lying, lots and lots of lying…
Last week, I took my small group to see The Children at the Manhattan Theatre Club. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to see this thought provoking drama unfold on stage. Follow this link to hear more about it…
