I read somewhere that this ''Buyer & Cellar'' is only online for 24 hours. If that's true, it'll disappear tonight from YouTube around 8 p.m. (EST).
Meantime, I'll add my bravos to Michael Urie's comic tour de force online, which I also saw Off-Broadway.
When he first did it in 2013, he won the Clarence Derwent Award for Actors' Equity and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Solo Performance. I also went back to see it when Barrett Foa and Christopher J. Hanke took over the role, and they were both wonderful and witty, too.
And kudos also oughta go to ''Buyer & Cellar's'' clever playwright, Jonathan Tolins. He took what could've been an easy 10-minute gag and spun it into a roughly 100-minute fantasia full of laughs. Theater lovers might know his plays ''The Twilight of the Golds'' and ''The Last Sunday in June.'' Tolins also has done a lot of co-producing and writing for TV: ''Queer as Folk,'' ''BrainDead'' and ''The Good Fight.'' He even worked on the 2003 Tony Awards and the TV movies of ''Grease Live!'' and ''A Christmas Story Live!'' But my favorite work of his is still ''Buyer & Cellar.'' |
