The Man Who Came to Dinner

Lakewood Theatre
November 6 - December 13, 2009

Summary:

Sheridan Whiteside, a New York critic, lecturer, wit, and radio orator, slips on the icy doorstep of the prominent Stanley family during a publicity stop. For the next six weeks the convalescing curmudgeon interferes with everyone and everything while confined to the Stanley's living room. Includes penguins and convicts.

Very. Funny.

At about three hours, it seemed like a long night for a such a thin comedy. Handsome set and costumes, some strong performances, but uninspired blocking.
Not a terrible show but not nearly as good as the Oregonian review.
What are people's opinions about a three act play, one intermission or two?

I felt that one intermission would of been enough...act 2 and 3 could have just been done together.

I tend to feel that after the intermission should be shorter than before.

The play is written for two intermissions, do two intermissions.

By the way, acts II and III would have been 2 full hours without an intermission.

Did you notice the AGE of most of the audience?

Could the second intermission be half as long as the first?

The problem is the show, not the intermissions.

People really need to learn how to explain and justify their opinions.

Doesn't anyone remember Freshman English?
