Thanks for bringing back some fond memories about <a href="http://www.ticketwood.com/theater/Hamlet-Tickets/index.php" rel="nofollow"> Hamlet </a> . This weekend I’m going to visit my sister and I've compared tickets prices tix for free before via this:<br /><a href="http://www.ticketwood.com" rel="nofollow"> http://www.ticketwood.com </a><br />So I'll be analyzing as well as enjoying the show.TaylorSwifthttp://www.ticketwood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-80569119988148879712009-07-14T15:58:05.488-04:002009-07-14T15:58:05.488-04:00I saw Jude Law as Hamlet at the Wyndham´s theatre ...I saw Jude Law as Hamlet at the Wyndham´s theatre in London very recently. I must admit I love Shakespeare´s works, but I wasn´t a fan of Jude Law. Just curious. However I couldn´t name a film he wasn´t good in, but having seen him on stage really convinced me about his talent and skills. It was a great delight to see his interpretation of the Danish prince.... but I could never get tired of good Shakespeare performances.Imogennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-51495371850922290932009-07-14T15:45:50.725-04:002009-07-14T15:45:50.725-04:00I saw Jude Law as Hamlet in London.

I think i've seen <i>west side story, star wars, the breakfast club</i> and <i>the wizard of oz</i> more than just about any other movies (for various reasons) but I haven't seen any of those even 20 times. And I'm always hearing people say they've watched their favorites 40+ times (or more)<br /><br />and i only very rarely see anything thrice in the movie theater during its first run.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-34970262267773410332009-06-30T23:28:31.080-04:002009-06-30T23:28:31.080-04:00But I'm also your opposite.

I raved about the Romeo & Juliet Park production two years back for example... obvs he's brilliant.<br /><br />I just feel like the continual reliance on him is a very clear fusion of two things that are unhealthy 1) financial concerns controlling all artistic decisions and<br />2) the artistic community having some imagination problems.... the same thing everyone else complains about when Hollywood constantly plans remakes and sequels<br /><br />I wholeheardtedly believe that Shakespeare is the theatrical community's equivalent of Hollywood and the sequel.<br /><br />And I guess i'm mostly just anti-Hamlet at this point. <br /><br />but to understand my feelings here it probably helps to know that I'm just not a repetitive view of anything. Even though i love movies I rarely watch any of them more than a few times whereas most movie fanatics i know can put in their favorites on endless replay.<br /><br />I just can't. it's not in me somehow. I need long breaks between viewings.<br /><br />but two more things.<br /><br />I AGREE with your point that this is hypocritical of me since i don't always support the non-shakespeare efforts financially but in my defense i am very very very poor so i only go to what is free, what I'm offered for free, or what i manage to get into at heavy discounts.<br /><br />I DISAGREE with your stat roundup since only citing Broadway productions doesn't even begin to tell the complete story of NYC theater.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-75603373923283347522009-06-30T21:58:10.055-04:002009-06-30T21:58:10.055-04:00I did a check once and this is what I found re: Sh...I did a check once and this is what I found re: Shakespeare on Broadway... (this was early 2008, before the BAM/Stewart MACBETH)<br /><br />1. Cymbeline: December 2, 2007<br />2. Julius Ceasar: April 3, 2005<br />3. King Lear: March 4, 2004<br />4. Henry IV: November 20, 2003<br />5. Macbeth: June 16, 2000<br />6. Twelfth Night: July 16, 1998<br />7. A Midsummer Night's Dream: March 31, 1996<br />8. The Tempest: November 1, 1995<br />9. Hamlet: May 2, 1995<br />10. Timon of Athens: November 4, 1993<br /><br /> So that's ten Shakespeares in 14 years. Given that this is SHAKESPEARE, it's really hard to suggest (to me) that it's overplayed.<br /><br /> Now, if you include Off-Broadway, I dare suggest that you get tonnes of Ibsens, Strindbergs etc. They're just not high profile enough.<br /><br /> And I've gotta ask, Nathaniel, did you see Exit the King or Mary Stuart on Broadway (you haven't mentioned that you have). Or The Seagull. Or Hedda Gabler.<br /><br /> Being done with Shakespeare? Dear God, man, how is that even possible?<br /><br /> Sorry, but this rankles almost as much as your "Eastwood isn't great but no one else knows but me" bender.<br /><br />---<br /><br /> Random coincidence - The last time Hamlet was on Broadway, the Hamelt won the tony (Feinnes). That season, Law was nominated for Indiscretions.Arkaannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-24284842235470225202009-06-30T17:54:57.261-04:002009-06-30T17:54:57.261-04:00Nick - I hope its a fraud, that would be more deva...Nick - I hope its a fraud, that would be more devastating than either Farrah or MJ.
