Saw tonight. It was a delightful evening. DIrected by Jonathan Miller, modern dress was used. Nathan as Guglielmo and Gordon Gietz as Ferrando were first seen...
Any chance you can post it? The NY Times requires registration and I can't always get through. . . . Also, for anyone who was thinking of seeing Gunn as Billy...
Hi - Saw Nathan on Tuesday in the NYC "Cosi" & he was terrific. Dorabella unbuttoned the last button of his shirt before they went off stage together - very...
