This is in the Daily Mail tonight. The last bit of the article was confusing because there a few sentences about a movie that was too scary for people to watch. Don't know what that has to do with the play."
Slightly unrelated, but they used my tweet in that article, and I had no idea hahaha, what a fun surprise!

She used my photo! That was fun to see

We both left with WTF? Technically flawless as far as sets, performances, lighting, and especially sound design. I deliberately avoided spoilers before seeing this. Now I am reading through them to understand what I saw on stage. Great reading and the play makes a little more sense, but I just think the source material is weak. Maybe I'm just not smart enough, but even understanding more about the plot I would not see this again.

You’re smart enough. It’s just a stupid piece of crap that makes no sense. I bet the author doesn’t even know what it is about.

After they gobbled up my more than $300 for two obstructed view seats, I will make as many negative comments as I want about this piece of garbage. If you don’t like it, scroll on by.

This is a phenomenon I simply do not understand, but I'm afraid you're not going to stop it. I've tried to make the same point in the Bad Cinderella thread, but apparently there are people who derive intense satisfaction from endlessly disparaging shows which they don't like (I call it Michael Riedel Syndrome). Personally, I don't see the point of wasting my time in threads devoted to shows that don't interest me, but it seems a lot of other folks relish this sort of thing. This is not to say that I haven't posted my thoughts on shows I found disappointing (e.g., Sweeney Todd), but I move on after doing so; it seems that many others are incapable of doing the same.

Right. Dislike the show, comment about it, and move on. It’s that simple. No need to continuous replies about how someone hated a show.

I have tickets for Saturday. To those who’ve seen it…worth exchanging to see Maslany’s performance?

IMO yes. I normally do not see shows for performers but I saw Grey House just for Tatiana Maslany. So for me, if I was in this situation, I would exchange.

She is fantastic in the show, so if you're a fan, it would definitely be worth exchanging. As someone who didn't know who she was before I saw the show, I don't think I'd have minded seeing an understudy. I don't think the production relies specifically on her (in the way that the current A Doll's House relies on Jessica Chastain).

Now go watch Orphan Black to see her acting range! She’s very talented!

Thanks for all the input. I am definitely a fan of her amazing work in Orphan Black, but I was somewhat underwhelmed when I saw her in Network and in Mary Page Marlowe at Second Stage. That being said, she and Laurie Metcalf were the reasons I got tickets for this in the first place, so I exchanged for next week. (And thanks to the box office staff at AMT Theater for exchanging our Walking With Bubbles tickets and allowing us to swap nights with Grey House, since all the slots for this trip are filled.)

I went tonight; no strong opinion either way other than I enjoyed it enough for what I paid. (TDF, Mezz A 14)
Tatiana was out though (bought from TDF so no alert email nor had I opened this thread until tonight to avoid spoilers), and I had been excited to see her weeks ago and since completely forgot she was even in it. So I didn't miss her at the time, but I really wish I'd seen her because she's a stellar actress. Maybe I'll see it again. (And not because I didn't understand it.)
Understudy Claire Karpen reminded me of Mary Louise Parker the entire time - to an almost distracting degree.

It has its moments, yes. I'll try to be vague about the circumstances, but some inherent spoilers below:

The worst is a moment where they use a prosthetic to depict the skin on someone's leg getting peeled upward, and some sort of vein/muscle chord or something getting pulled out of it. It was well-done for a stage effect, but not quite realistic enough to make me squirm (and I can be sensitive to these things).
A character also has a broken leg, on which we see a lot of bruising and some blood on the clothes and head, but not too graphic. The leg then gets beat around to some extent, so the character is in a lot of pain, which can be a bit cringe.
There's also a moment where some blood pours out of an actor's mouth.
We also see a dead bird getting dissected.
There's a scene where we hear a character offstage getting some minor injuries by impact.
A character vomits at one point as well

^I guess it sounds like a lot when I type it out like that, but in the moment, it doesn't FEEL like the play is hitting you over the head with a lot of gruesome stuff."
If possible without spoiling any plot points could someone pls tell me how bad the

vomiting on stage is? Also where it happens?
i have emetophobia so I just want to be prepared for that part.
