Movin Out/Take Me Out--
I saw both of these in the last few weeks, and recommend them both, with major reservations!
Movin Out-its DANCE-2 hours of it-no dialogue, sketchey plot; but, if you've seen as much dance-classic, modern, post-modern, whatever as I have--it's just heaven to see. (A special memory for me--seeing TWYLA THARP! bobbing and nodding to her Movin Out small band at Stars in the Alley.)
Take Me Out-it really is "naked boys...not singing", and you need to know that; Richard C. on ATC has posted a fair review, and expresses my feelings about this play very well. (Just don't be like a lady I know who went to see it because it is about ...BASEBALL!!!)

Thanks for your thoughts. I have seen Movin Out but not Take Me Out. I'm not a big ballet fan so at times I caught myself looking more at the technical aspects of the show and the backstage goings on which are my true passions. But I was still glad I went and my friend who is very into ballet really liked it so I guess I just appreciated it for what it had to offer.
Have to get to Take Me Out soon. I've fallen in love with the actor who plays the lead character.

Yes, Daniel S. is quite the looker! He has captured the look, swagger, and attitude that I imagine a famous and sucessful athlete would have. But, the cast is uniformly good, a few riveting.
One thing I forgot to mention about Movin Out-I am not much of a Billy Joel fan, but I was surprised and pleased at how the dance/music/story all fit quite nicely. As a matter of fact, I never even knew that he had written some of the songs. That said the sound is turned up awfully loud, (even for my old ears)and I wound up with quite a headache.
