PLAYBILL.COM'S THEATRE WEEK IN REVIEW: Bigger Is Better
Yahoo! News: "Apparently, Sorkin, busy with his well-populated television series out in Hollywood, has not noticed how, over the past 20 years, the cast-list for the average Broadway play (or average Off-Broadway play for that matter) has shrunk and shrunk until a so-called 'big-cast play' features only eight characters. More common is five - like Theresa Rebeck's Mauritius, which began previews at the Biltmore Theatre this week, or three or - the best financial scenario - one!"
