I saw the play two nights, witnessing standing ovations, and only wish I could have gone for a third night. The evenings were gripping, absorbing, and moving, so much so that on Wednesday night, I could not move, even to applaud.

great show, and interesting to hear from ellen burstyn that she will play barbara bush in oliver stone's new film? I wonder who will play W? Chris Cooper is the only person who comes to mind, either for W or for HW
