just for fun... and bragging

70, Girls, 70 had a successful (sold-out) opening weekend...
... including a pretty decent review [login required], from which I quote:
"Russ Sype's rubbery, eye-rolling Harry recalls his years of lame on-stage joke-telling."
I've never before been described as "rubbery"... a description completely at odds with the stiffness I feel at the end of each performance.

Nevertheless, I'll take it as a compliment.

I'll also take as a compliment the remarks of 5 different people from 2 different performances:
"Has anyone ever told you how much you look like Harvey Korman?"
Well... NO!
In fact, I do NOT look like Harvey Korman... but my on-stage persona, Harry, apparently does.
I'll credit my amazing acting ability...
(Though 'Harvey Korman' was not what I'd envisioned, I'm more than happy to learn that that's how "Harry" turned out!)

  3. I'm confused again. How is "Russ Sype's rubbery, eye-rolling Harry recalls his [Russ's?] years of lame on-stage joke-telling." a positive comment?
