Briefly - it's late, I'm on dial-up - I saw Modern Orthodox with Molly Ringwald and Jason Biggs at the Dodgers Stages tonight. It's fab. A great script, excellent acting (especially from film actors who sometimes aren't so great on stage), Molly looks about the same as she did in the Breakfast Club (no, really) and me and J were rolling in the aisles.
Sure, there's caricatures, but there's something about watching a play with intensely Jewish, almost Yeshivish content, in an environment where everyone is laughing at the jokes (sample: there's no word in Yiddish for thin). Even the black couple sitting behind us. Because this is New York. In London, we'd be looking over our shoulder to spot the other person laughing a big theatre. Here: everyone gets it. I'm still working out what it means. If anything. Not the play, the collective experience.
In other news, I have bought some black Chelsea boots. Only in New York.
