Easy & The Critic

ALERT: This show is closing in 30 min! 2p show on Sat Nov 23rd.

In this episode, we explore the Ireland-based Druid's production of Shakespeare's "Richard III". In it, Easy barely keeps from doing an Irish accent, The Critic talks a little bit about her mother, and we both rush to get this out to you since the show closes today!

I've had enough of this horrendous Google Doc with opening and closing dates: https://bit.ly/2YAKIEY

In this episode, we review the great David Yazbek's latest musical, 'Tootsie'. In it, Easy creates a new word (sperfect), The Critic actually does know the movie that was the largest grossing in 1982 (it was 'E.T.'), and we both can't shut up about 'The Full Monty'.

Goodness gracious this Google Doc, with opening and closing dates, is atrocious: https://bit.ly/2YAKIEY

Closing Alert! Should you wish to see 'Betrayal' it closes December 8th so you only have 4 weeks left.

In this episode, we explore Harold Pinter's classic, 'Betrayal', starring Loki, we mean Tom Hiddleston. In it, Easy confesses to the world how he betrayed The Critic with Betrayal, The Critic really unloads on Zawe Ashton's feet, and we both contribute to our longest outtake yet. Enjoy!

I'm telling you, this Google Doc, with open and close dates, is absolutely terrible: https://bit.ly/2YAKIEY

In this episode, we explore another Florian Zeller joint, "The Height of the Storm" at the Manhattan Theatre Club's Friedman Theatre. In it, The Critic correctly remembers that Frank Langella won the Tony for a previous Zeller role, Easy changes his own mind, and we wander in to uncharted decision waters...courteously. Enjoy!

I have tried to tell everyone how this Google Doc, helping you to know when shows open or close, is so poorly done: https://bit.ly/2YAKIEY

In this episode we explore Heidi Schreck's highly-awarded "What The Constitution Means To Me". In it, The Critic puts forth a clarion call, Easy invents a word ('playee'), and we work to get this out to you so fast that we forgot to be funny. Enjoy!

Wow. This Google Doc that help you know when a show is closing or opening in horrible: https://bit.ly/2YAKIEY

In this episode, another in our 'Did you make the right call' series, we explore the musical version of "The Secret Life of Bees" with music by Duncan Sheik. In it, Easy wishes to clear up that when he refers to sisters, he is describing women who have the same parents, The Critic struggles right up to the end, and we shamelessly namedrop our friend, Helene York, for no good reason. Enjoy!

For our 50th episode, we dive in to Lerner and Loewe's "My Fair Lady", starring Broadway's Laura Benanti. In it, Easy mispronounces several names, The Critic points out that she saw a show without Easy, and we both gush over Christian Dante White. And no, we didn't get you to the church on time by publishing before it closed, so this is another in our 'Did you make the right call' series. Enjoy!

Don't forget about our horrible Google Doc to help you figure out what's closing and opening soon: https://bit.ly/2YAKIEY

In this episode we (quickly) discuss Aaron Sorkin's adaptation of Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird" starring Jeff Daniels. In it, Easy auditions for the antagonist, The Critic is cognizant of time, and we both let you know what to do with your Newark theater dollars. Enjoy!

In this episode we explore the revival of Lanford Wilson's "Burn This" starring Keri Russell and Adam Driver. In it, Easy goes gaga over one of the actors, Critic reminds him that this is why he's called Easy, and we both lay in to one of stars... big time. Enjoy!

In this latest installment of 'Did You Make the Right Call', we discuss the limited (and finished) run of "King Lear" starring Glenda Jackson. In it, you, get The Critic's take on Glen Jackson, Easy's love affair with Ruth Wilson, and we shout out to non-family members for the first time. Enjoy!
