| Much as I liked Sons of the Prophet, I think I liked The Humans even more. But they're so different that they're hardly comparable. So I guess I'll just say that I thought both were excellent. | |

| Why don't they ever transfer the plays that really deserved it? | |

| And if I recall, I thought at the time it would have been a shoo-in for a Best Play Tony win... a pulitzer prize winning play with huge off-broadway cred and acclaim, about race, gender and politics, but not in America (so something all can get on board with), AND the chance to give the Tony to not only a woman but a black woman... seems like they were stupid not to transfer it if even just for a "qualifying" run. | |

| Haven't seen this piece yet, but I dearly loved "Prophet," on stage and page. | |

| The money was in place for a Sons of the Prophet transfer to be produced by Robyn Goodman. Unfortunately, the only theater available for the spring of 2012 was the Broadhurst which was way too big. | |

| oddly similar to The Humans, but more compelling, for my money. | |

| Several people have commented on the similarities between "The Humans" and "John" but I just don't see it. Aside from the fact that both plays flirt with the supernatural, they could hardly be more different. | |

| Largely naturalistic plays about everyday, even banal, human experience that threaten to tear the veil off and reveal the fear that lies beneath. Both have an oracular character who is more in touch with the hidden world. | |

| Why isn't Roundabout moving The Humans to one of their Broadway stages. I remember seeing Sons and then seeing People in the Picture and wondering why one earth they were filling their Broadway stage with such dreck when Sons was excellent. | |

| Not that it cuts out roundabout theaters--act of God was commercial rental--but moving to a commercial house menace sense. | |

| AFAIK, their season is already set, minus one show TBA in the Pels for June 2016 or so, so they don't have an available Broadway stage to move it until sometime late next year. | |

| That, and a good number of their subscribers will have seen it at the Pels and probably won't want to see it again. | |

| They must have wanted to run it now, and their Broadway season is already set. | |
