If I'm being honest, I have to admit that Rufus Sewell's name on the marquee caught my attention before Tom Stoppard's. But Stoppard's brilliant writing, Rufus's swarthy good looks, a talented cast all around (including Brian Cox and Sinead Cusack), and classic rock and roll music could only add up to a great time at the theater. And it was. There's only a few days left to see Stoppard's Rock n Roll on Broadway -- it closes March 9. You can still find discounted tickets at broadwaybox.com. If you don't know much about the Prague Spring, Pink Floyd, or the Plastic People of the Universe, you might want to do a little homework first. Even if you don't, just go with the flow -- so what if you don't get half of it? Isn't that what Stoppard's all about?
Tom Stoppard is brilliant! And this was a great play - captivating, contemporary, counter-communist. I like Rufus Sewell now he's been in a Tom Stoppard play.
If only there had been a Septimus in it! There was plenty of carnal knowledge.
