Now that "Some Girl(s)" is out of previews, the reviews should start getting around. Here's an AP review that was posted everywhere. ::::It's Maura Tierney, however, who delivers the best performance as Bobbi, a Los Angeles doctor who is not impressed by McCormack's feigned charm and calls him on the true nature of his quest. A veteran actress of TV and film, Tierney exhibits a surprising range on the stage, lashing out with a rage that's laced with indescribable pain. ::: http://jam.canoe.ca/Theatre/2006/06/08/1621571-ap.html

Cool, here's 3 more. And To be fair there are a couple less flattering reviews out there. Nothing too bad though. New York Post :::The four ladies he's loved and ditched vary from the rather awful, stilted Drescher as a married lady he abandoned after being discovered in flagrant circumstances by her husband, to the excellent, cheerfully spunky Tierney as a young woman prepared to give as much she takes. The competent Smith and the mannered Reyes fall somewhere in between.::: http://www.nypost.com/entertainment/69843.htm From VARIETY Drescher and Tierney supply the cast's most compelling work. Showing an admirable lack of vanity as she strips down to execute Lindsay's revenge, Drescher is cool and commanding, hostile but not so embittered she has lost her sense of humor. This is the production's riskiest piece of casting and its most surprising. Tierney is poised, intelligent and flinty, sitting back and clocking her ex's flimsy justifications with a steady gaze, refusing to buy any of them. It's a quiet, unshowy performance, shrewdly free from affectation. http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117930757...oryid=1265&cs=1 From the Hollywood Reporter Undoubtedly "Some Girl(s)" will be produced at regional theaters throughout the country, but it's hard to imagine a better cast than the one director Jo Bonney has assembled. Drescher sheds her "Nanny" mannerisms to portray a coolly avenging older woman; Tierney displays emotional intensity and an instinct for dry comedy as she cuts away at Guy's evasions; and McCormack, in the production's toughest role, demonstrates the many nuances of shallowness. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr/revie...t_id=1002650831 |

Please keep all reviews coming!! I have so much trouble finding them even with the wonder that is 'Google'ETA: I found something!! http://www.theatermania.com/content/news.cfm/story/8418 ER star Maura Tierney made a smashing New York stage debut as Bobbi, another of McCormack's onstage conquests. and... http://www.theatermania.com/content/news.cfm/story/8406 Tierney, whose character discovers the actual depth of Guy's deceitfulness, is intelligent and forcible There are some AMAZING pictures with the articles too but I can't figure out how to put them on the board. |

LOL!!! I love how Maura is the only girl to not to wear a dress and still look the best!! Great pics!ETA: found one more http://newyorkmetro.com/arts/theater/reviews/17245/ Until that point, the last scene actually has some things going for it—the kinds of virtues that make me continue to think that LaBute may be capable of lasting achievement. For once, the Guy appears to meet his match in Bobbi (played by Maura Tierney, who’s nearly as awkward physically as Drescher, but gorgeous-voiced—she practically sings the role). There seems to be a possibility of real affection here, a compelling development for the story. But then LaBute pulls the rug out from under him, her, and us. Just when I was about to congratulate him for his keen appreciation of complex male thinking, he reveals that a silly hidden motivation has been at work for the Guy all along. It’s a straight sucker punch. |

Very cool exploradora! This is way fun. ::::::::None of these reunions is merry. Instead of exoneration and good wishes, our hero receives a slap from a high-school sweetheart (expertly played by Brooke Smith) still brooding over a prom snub. He's subjected to a mild case of sexual blackmail by a former teaching colleague (Fran Drescher, miscast but still dryly effective) with whom he carried on an illicit affair. And he gets a gift certificate but zero sympathy from a radiologist (Maura Tierney, in the show's funniest, sharpest turn) whom he abruptly abandoned a decade before, in an all-too-familiar pattern.:::::::: http://www.newsday.com/features/printediti...0,5258027.story |

Not a review but here'a an article "A Night Out With: 'Some Girl(s)." It's a NYT article with one picture of the cast at dinner. It's a subscription only site but the registration is free. BTW I didn't get the "How was Score's?" joke Maura made to McCormack and then my husband tells me it's a NY strip club. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/11/fashion/11NITE.html |
