It's just a minor complaint though, definitely not enough to ruin my enjoyment of the play.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341231489185317489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31471786.post-23612965461659171622009-11-07T21:10:51.048-05:002009-11-07T21:10:51.048-05:00I saw Superior Donuts a couple weeks ago and I lov...I saw Superior Donuts a couple weeks ago and I loved it. Sure, it's different from August, which I also loved, but just as compelling in its own way. If August was about how we treat each other as a family, Superior Donuts is how we treat each other as neighbors, a community, Americans. <br /><br />Michael McKean and Jon Michael Hill had the best chemistry of any pair I saw on my recent trip to Broadway - including Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig. <br /><br />Hill is terrific - I was laughing at Franco's banter with Arthur and I teared up when he pulled his "novel" out of his backpack and started quoting Langston Hughes. And how great to see a portrait of a young black man who's smart and witty and literary and not a rapper or an athlete.<br /><br />And I know what you mean about the collective gasp from the audience.<br /><br />I understand what you're saying about McKean's asides where he talks about his background. They do take you out of the play a bit but I honestly didn't find them to be that big of a problem.<br /><br />So far, this is my Broadway show of the fall. I'd go back and see it again if I lived closer.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.com
