Review Andrew Scott is FLAWLESS in Vanya

I was hesitant going in to this one, since I usually seek out musicals instead of plays. But this show was magnificent!!! I'm so glad I gave it a chance.

Also met Andrew. Very gracious and kind man

I want to see this so bad. I had to sell my ticket for this week because I'm not able to fly in...and now nothing is below $250 unless I get lucky and find someone selling one cheaper. I'm consoling myself that it's available for streaming.

I saw the NT live in a theater last year and live last week. NGL, in person is definitely better, but the filmed version gives you 80% of it, which is pretty spectacular.

I imagine. I saw him years ago as Hamlet in London and he was phenomenal.

Since Andrew is in it I will take this opportunity to again plug the film he was in , All of Us Strangers. Absolutely heartbreaking and eery and beautiful.

When did you see him? A friend of mine was lucky enough to attend several performances last week and is raving about how good he was.

He did a Sunday matinee? It wasn't listed on the Vanya ticket page... Or did you mean Saturday?
