phantagrae Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm trying to talk my hubby into going with me this summer. He wants to know more about it before he will consider it, and so do I. Does anyone know if it's more risque than TBBT? It's my understanding that it's somewhat toned down from the book, but it will still offend some folks and will likely have some adult language. The only thing I don't like, personally, about this kind of humor is that it's trying to sort of create God in the image of the writer, essentially, having God approve or disapprove of whatever the writer thinks He should, so God will say, "when I said _____, I didn't mean for people to do _____" or whatever. While I agree that many times people let religion get in the way of faith or whatever, I don't agree with many of the opinions that these kinds of satires often put forth. Now, I have no details about what's in this script, so I can't say anything specific, but if you're easily offended by religious satire, then you might not enjoy the play. Just sayin. I would love to see Jim on Broadway some day, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardustmelody Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 PatsyR, I agree with what Phanta said above, although I wanted to point out that the book was pretty explicit in spots as well as used foul language a lot. While the play script may be slightly toned down, I would say it definitely does not qualify as "family" oriented material. And, as Phanta said, it is a satire on faith and religion and that can offend as well. Even Jim knows it will offend some people and has been preparing for that based on things he has said in recent interviews about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAteAButterfly Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Offensive religious satire? Bring it on. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsyR Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Hmm, I would gladly sit for hours and listen to Jim read the telephone book. The religious satire I could probably tolerate, but not sure about the swearing. Hubby would probably feel the same--maybe more so. I am really torn. Either way, thank you all for your insights. Maybe I'll go by myself and wear earplugs and just watch him. OMG, you don't think there will be nudity, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an article I was reading where they said something about Jim wearing a robe and sandals. I don't know if the guy was joking, but in some other interview Jim was saying that he hopes they don't make him wear sandals because he hates them.

It's only Jim and two of his angels. They'll most likely be robed the entire time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have my fantasy that they have to disrobe civilian Jim Parsons and dress him to receive the voice of God. I am not joking when I tell you that I WILL have smelling salts in my purse.

I'm going to have to start taking blood pressure medication now, don't need it, but I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachelshamyfan Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Seeing as the season is coming to an end, what episode(s) do you think Jim should submit as his emmy noms?

I think Anxiety and Prom would be good as both show different sides to him Does he have a "Drunk!Sheldon" episode this season? I think those are good episodes, but it does depend on what is coming in the last two episodes...one of them could be epic! I'd have to back and look at the titles to see what I remember.

Actually Junior Professor I would slide in there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
