Friday 13 February 2004, by Anonymous : i want to see that scene!Saturday 14 February 2004, by Matt G : Does anyone know what time Alyson arrives on Matinee daysSaturday 14 February 2004, by Groovycathers : I’m afraid I completely disagree with the "preview review"- I was also at the Wednesday night preview, my boyfriend and I both really enjoyed it. I have to say that I am a *huge* fan of the film and I was expecting to be be disappointed - I wasn’t. Firstly, we had decent seats - 2nd row of the royal circle. May be that helped but I’ve generally always seen plays where there are no microphones used by the actors, I didn’t think Aly or Luke seemed to be particularly shouting more than I’ve heard in other productions over the years. I thought the set design was mininalist but inventive - allowing for some interesting lighting and media effects. The play needed a fair amount of adaptation from the film as it was going to be tricky for example, to exactly copy the trip from Chigago to NYC and the airport/plane scenes. On the whole it worked. A couple of times they’d moved the dialogue around a bit, which was a tad confusing (the apple pie a la mode ended up in a completely different scene in act 2) but this wasn’t detrimental to the overall essence of the play. I thought Aly and Luke both aquitted themselves very well. There was a sweet fluff in the first scene when Aly forgot where she was supposed to be and seemed to have suddenly arrived in LA as opposed to NYC - that got some endeared chuckles. I liked Aly’s awareness and reaction to each scene and her "0ff the ball" acting. One of the things people often don’t notice when it’s good, is the reaction of an actor to others who are speaking or in focus at that time. You notice it when it’s bad, or non-existent. The problem with WHMS is that Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal stamped their personalities on the film so much that onyone other than them was going to have trouble pulling it off in the theatre. I think both the leads did well, Aly in particular really made the part her own as much as was possible under such pressure. As for Luke Perry, even my cynical partner thought that he made a more beliveable love interest than Billy Crystal. The original reviewer talks about the play appearing like a "school play" - this is not a big budget Lloyd-Webber musical production - it’s a young-ish cast, a fairly tight budget and (at the moment) a short run. I thought the cast were professional, there were few fluffs and technical hitches, and as pointed out by the original reviewer it was only the second night of the previews. Wednesday 18 July 2007, by AnswerToAboveQuestion : ^^Yea. I presonally like Alyson a lot better than SMG, but it’s common knowledge that Aly isn’t as famous as her yet. But at the rate she’s going, getting more and more attention from people all over the world, I’m sure she will be. And with the talent she has, she most definitely deserves it.These comments are an anwser to this article : Alyson Hannigan - Theater Orgasm Scene !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
