It's Raining Man
Steve On Broadway (SOB): "While many of you may be contemplating whether to join in the frenzy known as Black Friday, yours truly has been contemplating one of a different variety here in London. After much hand-wringing, I've decided to take in the new West End stage adaptation of Barry Levinson's 1988 Academy Award-winning Best Film 'Rain Man' this evening."

this is strange to me. Rain man is such a clasic movie, but i am unsure how it translates into stage form. On the one hand, it might be wonderful, with things like the straw scene translating wonderfully. but on the other, some things are just made to be moveies.... rain man might be one of them.I think it would do better to stray a bit from the plot, but the whole audience knows the story very well, so it might not be taken so well.
I wonder how Josh Hartnett will do, taking Tom Cruise's movie role to the stage. I've never been impressed with Hartnett's acting abilities, but then again, neither have I for Tom Cruise, and he did a pretty good job in Rain Man. Maybe this role will help Josh Hartnett improve his abilities.
