Dear Folks:

Could you please let me know the running time of the next production–”Little Dog”?

Thanks!

Lynnette

I saw this show in preview last night. A very witty script delivered by a dynamite foursome of talented actors. In particular, Diane ignited the stage with her energy. My two friends and I left the theater saying, “Wow, that was a great evening of entertainment.” We loved it. (I’ve sent this same note to my theater-loving friends.)

We loved the show–great staging, pacing and terrific cast!
We are disappointed, though, that the Oregonian revealed the details of the story in its review. Glad we attended before the review came out.

This just in from a blogging subscriber:

“Long monologues and narrations leave the play vulnerable to poor pacing and hokey story telling, but the cast (and director) nail it. Even the one-liners roll by with ease, as if the entire playhouse is exchanging quips at a large dinner party. From a “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” retelling to kick start the show, the vulnerable characters weave their tabloid-familiar misfortunes, fears, love and dreams through short scenes and vignettes to a Stepford-perfect/scary, Cruise and Holmes, Hollywood ending. (It also doesn’t hurt to see attractive men bare all! I kept my head up, but my eyes certainly darted down every so often.

All in all, the performance made my night. The chemistry between the characters, their vulnerability and the agent’s bitter-sweet reality, perseverance and ambition have me mulling over my own life. Where can I be vulnerable and where can I get my own agent?”

Awesome Scott. Glad that it resonated for you.

I’d like to know what songs were used. There was some great music used but I didn’t recognize it…

Alex’ black shoes came from Macy’s! They are Skechers and, I believe, on sale as of a few weeks ago. Glad you noticed them! (I designed costumes for LITTLE DOG)

Thank you so much for arranging the opportunity for Hasson agents and their friends and clients to see the play “The Little Dog Laughed”. Gary and I already had tickets, but we took a former client. All 3 of us thought the play was terrific! The acting was superb…one of the best theater that we have seen in Portland, and we are big theater goers. The play was full of laughter, lots of pathos, and leaves you with a lot to think about. I would certainly highly recommend it.

I second the interest in the music. We drove down from Seattle (for a Saturday matinee), and loved the show. Could you give more specifics about the music, like song titles, too? I recognized the Scissor Sisters (Don’t Feel Like Dancing) and Madonna (didn’t recognize the song), but also know I heard some Robbie Williams in there, too. I would be grateful for a full list, so I can compile a playlist! Thanks for a great show.

Most of the Madonna is from “Confessions from the Dance Floor”; Several tunes from Annie Lennox’s new album (can’t remember the name). I’ll ask Casi, our designer for a full play list. Cool.
