OPENING NIGHT
Peter and the Starcatcher opened in New York last night, and it got a really nice review in the New York Times, which is a major newspaper up there. Ridley and I were on hand, in our team sportjackets.

Congrats on a fine NY Times review. Wise move to wait until Frank Rich was gone.

Awesome!
So, who's joining me and my daughter for an evening of "arrested goofball" performance? Contact me at steveFORGOD'SSAKEDON'TINCLUDETHE

Dave and Ridley are ushers in NYC? I guess the recession is hard on authors too.

We dress alike,
We walk alike,
Sometimes we even talk alike,

A "very nice review"?!?
That was a "rave", Dude. These are NEW YORK critics, like the ones who called Hurricane Katrina "a mildly annoying rain shower".

*reads actual article*
Ooooooooh! CONGRATS, GUYS!!
*Waves up to Leetie!* I miss your giant head, woman!!

Great review, looks cool, but those lost boys look a tad...old?
Posted by: Loudmouth | March 10, 2011 at 08:18 AM
Congratulations, Dave and Ridley!
I bought the book a few years ago for my son, for whatever reason he didn't read it and I found it a couple weeks ago, under his bed among other 13-year old boy things kept the bed, such as sandwiches, socks, and blue-gray fuzzy things. After letting it air out for a day or two I (finally) started reading it and couldn't put the darn thing down. Worse, at the end I went to amazon and bought the rest of the series. Waiting anxiously for them to arrive.

I tried to copy-and-paste the "former humor columnist" line, but the ever helpful NYT tried to explain the comment -- an explanation that yielded only a question mark in the interactive box.
I think "repurposed" is more accurate than former.

Congratulations Dave and Ridley. There may be a Tony award in your futures.

Got stars in your eyes, Dave?

I read the rave last night, Dave. Had to keep checking back that it was really the Times. He liked it better than WICKED, for crying out loud!
Sweet.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 10, 2011 at 09:08 AM
Obviously a job very well done. Congrats!
Posted by: nannie | March 10, 2011 at 10:12 AM
Here's one more rave.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 10, 2011 at 10:30 AM
What happened to my last post? It had the review from the Daily News.
WTF?
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 10, 2011 at 10:31 AM
Jeff -- read it, the Backstage one? Was great anyway.
Posted by: Tash | March 10, 2011 at 10:46 AM
Dave seems to be well on his way to getting his EGOT. Though, someone needs to explain about standing in front of the title in promo shots.
Posted by: MartiniShark | March 10, 2011 at 11:36 AM
That is a incredible review. You and Ridley should prepare yourselves for the onslaught of Tony awards.
Posted by: Guin | March 10, 2011 at 11:37 AM
Nice picture Dave. Congratulations!

With that kind of review, you should just move it to Broadway right away. The Spiderman theater may be available soon.
Posted by: Braniff | March 10, 2011 at 12:51 PM
BTW, the show's not eligible for a Tony because it's Off-Broadway. But it could win a coveted Obie! (do they even still have those?)
Posted by: Braniff | March 10, 2011 at 01:29 PM
After that review, poor Mrs. Blog will have to use a crowbar to fit Mr. Blog's head through the door.
Well done guys!
Posted by: Wolfsong | March 10, 2011 at 03:33 PM
congrats Dave and Ridley! My boys loved this book - I hope I can see this show someday!
Posted by: Beckster | March 10, 2011 at 04:51 PM
Congrats.
Ya done good.
The boy from New York..
Posted by: Bob Pert | March 10, 2011 at 05:09 PM
I think Dave ought to write a book.
Posted by: bonmot | March 10, 2011 at 05:27 PM
YAY for Dave and Ridley!! Congratulations!!!

Absolutely Grand!!!
So the next order of business is - can you start work on the screenplay for Disney, since their New York stage requirements clause has been met? or are we going to have to wait even longer???
Posted by: Harmonysdad | March 10, 2011 at 07:46 PM
Nice pic - I guess those cameras that improve your faces really DO work!
Very much fun reading those reviews - congrats! Go to google news and search 'starcatcher' and you get more reviews, uniformly positive. I particularly enjoy the comments from the 'common folk' that follow. The internets are a wonderful thing.
