Venus is here and her name is Nina!!!!!!! Review by: Diract 66, Mar 13, 2012 |
| Nina Arianda is the brightest and best actress to come to NY theatre in many a year. If 'Venus' is eligible for Tony awards this year she should win best actress. After all she was cheated out of the award last year. Nina switches between two characters on stage faster than Joanne Woodward and Sally Field together. And she does a better job... eight nights a week on stage in front of a live audience. When she comes onstage, lights go on,... read more, the sun comes up,and life comes from the dead! The play takes so many turns from laugh out loud humor to tie me up shock that you can't keep up and when the play is over you are asking, " What the hell just happened?" Hugh Dancy is also perfectly cast in his role as writer,director, and sometimes actor. He thinks he is in command but ultimately is not. This show premise is an actress arrives late for an audition and the director/writer finally agrees to let her audition..and then the 'fun' begins. Sensual and sexy is Nina, yet there is no sex in the show. Even if at the end you do not like the show , you will appreciate and love the acting....especially Nina..this years Tony winner! |
