I am happy to have stumbled upon this Tiny Desk Concert. I saw The Band's Visit two months ago and, at the end, I cried uncontrollably for ten minutes. I think it was my gut reaction to Nightmare Trump and how this show gracefully, wittily, and piercingly talks to the hopes of people who still believe in cross-cultural human connection. I kind of developed a girl crush on Katrina Lenk as well (and have learned a lot about Umm Kulthum in the interim). Just a beautiful show.

@rryderr4 жыл бұрын
You should go see it of you get the chance again. While the song can have many meanings, the context inolves a young man who waits day and night near a payphone for his love to call. It's funny at first but as the story goes on it becomes very moving.

It was fantastic and I loved every second of it! However, I don't agree with Tony Shalhoub's Tony Award. It's a MUSICAL and he barely sings, or speaks for that matter, so it really should have gone to Ethan Slater. His performance is like nothing I've ever seen before and it was incredibly demanding vocally and physically.
@withalittlehelpfrom36 жыл бұрын
Maria Amezquita I agree Ethan Slater’s performance was more physically and vocally demanding. However, the award is for Best ACTOR in a Musical. I think in terms of a powerful performance that reeled the audience in and elicited sympathy for the character, Tony Shaloub did a much better job. Just look at his reactions to Dina’s singing in the Tony performance! He conveys so much without saying a word. I’m also happy the Tonys decided to go for a more subtle and less flashy performance, even if Ethan Slater’s was fantastic and, yes, Tony worthy. I could say the same for Joshua Henry. This is not to say Ethan Slater’s performance was bad or even less good than Tony Shaloub’s. But it is to say, I understand why Shaloub got the award, particularly since it was his 4th nomination without a win and it was Slater’s first.

Fair enough. Either way, both shows were fantastic and both actors are incredibly talented. Can't wait where Ethan's career goes! :)

So thank you so much to everyone who was involved with this.
