🐀 The Rat Steps Into the Salesroom…
Welcome to The Stage Rat, where I—your sharp-nosed, ABR (always be ratting), theatre-obsessed rodent—fight tooth and tail through the overhyped, overpriced jungle of NYC theatre so you don’t have to.
Every week, I bring you the goods: killer shows and free tickets.
Let’s face it—half the shows out there couldn’t close a lemonade stand. But me? I’m out here in the lobby, wheeling, dealing, dodging the rat czar and dodgier directors, all to deliver the real stuff to you rats in the know 🧀
And if you’re serious about theatre—really serious—this is your last chance to hear about an new membership we’re opening to a very limited crew. Want in? Get on the waitlist with the email going out next week (further down). First prize: exclusive access. Second prize: you miss it.
Now lets talk Glengarry Glen Ross...
THE RAT’S RECOMMENDATION:
“GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS”
Cheese Score: 🧀🧀🧀 (4/5)
Description: Cutthroat real estate agents battle for survival in a world fueled by lies, pressure, and ruthless ambition.
Why You Should Care:
Culkin. Odenkirk. Burr. – That’s not a cast, that’s a hit squad. Watching them go toe-to-toe is wild. They have such presence on stage and their personalities interacting is dynamic and quite special.
Sharp as Hell. – Mamet’s dialogue snaps like a mousetrap. Blink and you’ll miss a killer line. This is a fast script, the intermission comes around before you settle in your incredibly small chair.
Act 1 Teases. Act 2 Hits. – First half sets the chessboard. Second half flips it over. Act 1 is a series of vignettes which allows us to meet the characters individually and then Act 2 puts them all at play together.
American Dream - This show reveals the darker side of manipulation, ambition and greed at the heart of the sales process underpinning Capitalism. #gordongekko
Where - The Palace Theatre, Broadway, NYC.
How long is this? - 1 hour 45 mins including intermission.
Who to Bring – Bill Burr podcast listeners, your sales manager who screams “let’s gooooo” before stand-ups, succession fans, your crypto friend who lost everything but still wears designer hoodies, your brother who says theatre is for wimps but quotes Jordan Peterson like scripture.
Rat Tip – Know your ABCs, bring coffee if you’re not a closer, if you don’t know the difference between a lead, a mark, and a closer, just nod like you understand why five grown men are yelling about real estate like it’s life or death.
