Easy & The Critic

DOMINIC ALCOCER

Ever wish there were a Rotten Tomatoes for New York theater? Everybody reviews New York Theater and then leaves it up to you. That's fine. We tell you what we think and (in the words of The Critic) what to do. New York theater dollars are precious and you don't want to see a turkey, so we'll help you know if it's worth it.

    Easy & The Critic - #66 "One Man, Two Guvnors"

    In this episode, we explore our first online offering, this one being the production of "One Man, Two Guvnors" from the UK's National Theatre. In it, Easy starts changing the format to Q&A, The Critic wants to make sure you get the spelling right, and we are clearly out of practice. Damn you, Covid-19! Go here to watch "One Man, Two Guvnors" and all those that follow. nationaltheatre.org.uk Also, Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber is broadcasting his shows on a YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdmPjhKMaXNNeCr1FjuMvag Here's Sir Andrew's awesome plea for us to be safe: https://twitter.com/i/status/1245018777823129601 Hopefully this Google Doc will be able to be updated soon (although it will still be despicable): https://bit.ly/2YAKIEY

    Easy & The Critic - #65 "Forbidden Broadway - The Next Generation"

    In this episode, we explore the latest edition of "Forbidden Broadway" with the Picardian name "The Next Generation." While we discuss it here as an installment in our 'Did You Make The Right Call' series, we certainly know that there aren't any shows right now on which to make a call. Our thoughts (and dollars as much as they can be) are with the theater industry right now. Hopefully this Google Doc will be able to be updated soon (althought it will still be terrible): https://bit.ly/2YAKIEY

    Easy & The Critic - #64 "Sing Street"

    In this episode, we explore the New York Theatre Workshop's production of "Sing Street". In it, The Critic successfully hides her age, Easy successfully works in "The Full Monty" again, and we successfully nail a GOT reference (Brenock is Olly). Note well, with the current situation, this show is not starting their performances in March. This Google Doc showing opening and closing dates is definitely out of date with the crisis: https://bit.ly/2YAKIEY

    Easy & The Critic - #63 "Harry Connick Jr. - A Celebration of Cole Porter"

    In this episode, we explore "Harry Connick Jr. - A Celebration of Cole Porter" which ran on Broadway for a brief engagement. In it, Easy nearly gives away too much, The Critic expresses her deep love for Mr. Connick, and we both generally lose command of the English language resorting to audio charades (for your entertainment, of course). Enjoy! While concerts are likely postponed right now, check out www.harryconnickjr.com for tour dates. Please practice social media distancing from this terrible Google Doc showing opening and closing dates: https://bit.ly/2YAKIEY

    Easy & The Critic - #62 "Seared"

    We're Back! Thanks for your patience during our brief New Year hiatus. In this episode we explore MCC's production of Theresa Rebeck's "Seared". In another installment of our 'Did You Make The Right Call?' series, The Critic correctly remembers that Moritz won a Tony, Easy goes on way too long, and we introduce a new feature to the bloopers. Enjoy! Please please reconsider your use of this Google Doc with opening and closing dates: https://bit.ly/2YAKIEY

    Easy & The Critic - #61 "Hadestown"

    In this episode we explore the eight-time Tony award-winning show, "Hadestown". In it, Easy mispronounces 'hepcat', The Critic is very upset about something, and we miscredit Sondheim for writing books of musicals (he likely had a hand in them). Enjoy! This Google Doc with opening and closing dates is offensive, please, please make it stop: https://bit.ly/2YAKIEY

    Easy & The Critic - #60 "Scotland, PA"

    Closing Alert: You have 2.5 hours until this show closes on 8 Dec 2019! In this episode, we explore Roundabout's production of "Scotland, PA" which is the musical version of the movie of the same name. In it, Easy overuses the word 'egregious', The Critic expresses her love for murder, and we both wish that our brother/brother-in-law had done the sound design. Enjoy! How is it that this Google Doc with opening and closing dates still exists?: https://bit.ly/2YAKIEY

    Easy & The Critic - #59 "The Sound Inside"

    Closing Alert: The Sound Inside closes 12 Jan 2020. In this episode, we explore "The Sound Inside" starring Mary-Louise Parker. In it, The Critic gushes over David Cromer, Easy reminds her of his acting in 'The Waverly Gallery', and we both are having second thoughts about including a giant two-minute long outtake which has spoilers and makes no sense. Enjoy! I've heard of bad, but come on, nothing comes close to this Google Doc with opening and closing dates: https://bit.ly/2YAKIEY
