| Talene, not Talent though she is certainly talented was very funny and I did hope she would come back. It was not to be. The rest of the cast however was also extremely talented and delivered their lines, many of them extremely amusing, very well. I do agree that the characters and situations were controlled by the themes of the play rather than vice versa but that is not always a bad idea and for me, it definitely worked. If I thought there was a checklist of subjects that we went through(and I did) checking each one off it caused me to examine exactly what the last fifty and even more clearly the last twenty five years have been like in terms of LGBTQ life in this country particularly the Northeast. I appreciate plays that cause me to think as much as I do those that cause me to feel. I understood the l &g characters frustrations with T issues as well as T's anger at their seeming unawareness of their privilege. As far as having sex in cab's people do even with the driver. We read all sorts of stories every day about things that happen in taxi's or automobiles that are far more outrageous than that. I have also seen people making love in parked cars on my block (not cabs admittedly) and not necessarily much past midnight so i find that hardly unbelievable. Overall I thought it was a very enjoyable and well written show, not a classic perhaps but much better than the posts I have read would have me believe and the cast was terrific. | |

| Yes it was crammed with topics; but wasn't that the point? Spoiler alerts: I hadn't given much thought before seeing this play to how transgender is the new threshold of gay acceptance. How do gays; especially those who have at last "made it" address this new addition to the gay agenda of acceptance. Do they even accept it themselves.? I thought the ending was brilliant. The baby beginning to find the voice of the next generation be it straight or gay or trans. | |
