    The Understudy.


    I was expecting to see a play somehow connected to theatre life, because I know that understudy is an alternate person for an actor in theatre. But I didn’t expect to see such a banal and boring play. The classing problems of struggling actors, high budget movies with low quality of acting, relation of true art and money. Common, give me a break! I have seen it all before and, unfortunately I didn’t see anything new or interesting in this play.

    I know this is a comedy, but the acting was too unrealistic, I just didn’t believe the characters. Especially I didn’t t like the acting of the Julie White. I know she it Tony Award winner, but it was annoying; I have seen high school productions better than this. I call it overacting. I mean, common, it was too much even for a comedy.

    What I liked in this play is fictional play of Kafka. It was the only interesting moment with some food for thoughts.

    Perhaps, from all the plays and musicals I saw this season I didn’t like this play most. I guess it is just not for me. I hope people who paid money for this play enjoyed it at least a little bit. But I will be looking forward to the new Off-Broadway play experience.
