phantagrae Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Apropos of nothing in particular, other than MJ's comment about Jim's bath scene... Now that he's so buff, I'd like to see a remake of that UP2U PSA he did a few years ago. He needs to do a little strutting in a bathing suit. That's all.

MsTeller Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I am just SO hoping that Jim will keep getting more exposure beyond TBBT. I want to be able to go to a movie theater and see him in a really great film role! I want to have someone to root for again and Jim is amazing!

phantagrae Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) I so want to go! I'm actually seriously thinking about going to a TBBT taping--one of the March ones--and now this thing has become a bug in my ear... I think that if I am careful, I can have a lot of the money set aside. And I kind of need to get a credit card anyway, for other reasons, and that would give me some buffer besides my cash. Hmmm So, if the last TBBT taping is 4/21, I wonder if he's already got his script for Act of God. Or maybe he'll get it soon. But I guess he's got some rehearsal time between about 4/22 and when it opens on 5/28 (corrected after reading more on Broadway.com). So is the 5/5 date when previews start or is that when they start rehearsals? And I bet he's happy to be working with Joe Mantello again. ETA: I'm wondering how irreverent or possibly disrespectful it might be.... Edited January 29, 2015 by phantagrae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrycec03 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 well Phanta if you are gonna do one or the other I HIGHLY recommend going to the BBT taping. It was such a great experience... BUT I also would suggest doing both and you can make a trip to NYC!! I saw Jim in Harvey and died. I still remember that experience. So this is fantastic!!!

If it doesn't open until the 28th, I should be somewhat free to go--no University teaching, no symphony performances. Just $$ and time off of work. If I could do a down-and-dirty trip out and back, it could work. It's really just the $$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamallama Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 No running off this time. Have to try for the stage door. I want to smell that man!! No way will I not go to the stage door after. Need to smell him, My birthday is the beginning of June, if we go around then I will work that to get a selfie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantagrae Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Okay, so in reading the NYT review of the original book, I don't know how much I will like the content of the play. I'm sure I'd enjoy Jim's performance--I guess--but I suspect that the play may offend me to a degree... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantagrae Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 So its just 90 minutes of talking about god??? I'm wondering if it's primarily almost a one-man show. They mention casting a couple of angels and I think one other character, but the format of the book suggests that it would be "God" talking about various things. I don't know if the other characters as him questions or what the deal is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) One of the reasons I was surprised to him playing this role is that I also took it to be kind of a one-man show and I've always heard Jim praising on how wonderful it is to be part of an ensemble and working on something together as a group. I think he even listed it as one of the reasons he enjoys theatre so much. Edited January 29, 2015 by Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachelshamyfan Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I adore Jim but that's something I wouldn't have any interest in but I hope y'all have a great time if you go and that Jim does well in Did it say how long its running for?

Andy_90's_generation Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) I'm more excited by the fact that Montello and Jim are going to work together than by the play he's going to do. I mean, i like this type of sense of humor, but i understand it's not for everybody. I wonder if this will cause some rejection from some religious entities. i have zero idea of the religious idiosyncrasy of other societies asides of mine, so my question comes out of pure ignorance. We'll see... ps: soooooooo happy Jim's going to do theater again! i hope is a full success for our Jimmy ♥♥ Apparently the tickets will go on sale mid-February. According to Playbill.

It says it's a limited run, but they don't yet have an end-date for it. One of the reasons I was surprised to him playing this role is that I also took it to be kind of a one-man show and I've always heard Jim praising on how wonderful it is to be part of an ensemble and working on something together as a group. I think he even listed it as one of the reasons he enjoys theatre so much. I wonder if a lot of the appeal of the project for him is working with Joe Mantello again. I was surprised he went to see Sting's musical, The Last Ship, until I remembered that JM was the director, which is, I'm sure, the primary reason Jim went to see it. So maybe that was his primary motivation for doing it. Dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
