Monty Wooley was just a little too sophisticated for me.
The way Nathan plays Sherry he feels a lot more complex, and more funny. He makes me realize, Sherry isn't really as suave as he thinks he is. Underneath all that wit and sophistication he really is a bruiser, and not that far from the obnoxious guy in a bar.
Anyone who thinks that Nathan Lane is either overacting, or is worse at this part than Monty Wooley has never read anything by or about Alexander Woollcott. I was ready to hate this, but I have to say that Mr. Lane is positively brilliant!
Looooove this play. :) I am Harriet Stanley and I must say that after a partial read-through, our production is going to be pretty awesome. However, we are just high schoolers, so it probably won't be near to this. Excellent production!!! And very talented actors.
Titaniacy....were is the one were Banjo arrives? i wanna see that one..... cuz at my school we watched it and i wanna see it again its my favorite part
my high school did this last year and i was bert jefferson!! second lead role, ftw. it was marvelous fun. martinryan, my friend nico played your part, and purplemaster, my friend kat played yours. :)
yea I was in that same play I was a convict,I set up the radio and I was the Deputy . oh and I was also a expressman I only had like 2 lines but hey I really enjoyed being part of the play :D
We did this play, and the guy who played Banjo stole the show. He is the funniest and nicest guy in real life, and this part was made for him. It is a really long play, but i loved itt.
Harriet Samson Harris - aka Bebe Glazer of FRASIER and Mrs. Jankis of MEMENTO - is the actors' goddess...

As good as Nathan Lane is in the role, Harriet Harris keeps up with him at every turn. What a great pairing.

Good job by Nathan Lane, but it's hard to beat the acting of Monty Woolley.....

@DrQuest44 Nathan did a great job. Just as Kitty Carlisle said, he was born to play Sheridan.
