I sat in the third row center for this production, and left the theatre in awe of what I'd just witnessed. "Timotheé Chalamet is a revelation," I wrote online that night. "I feel like I'll be telling my friends' grandchildren about him." I'm so grateful to have witnessed Timotheé so early in his career, and in such an exquisite play by John Patrick Shanley! Still not giving up hope the full play will be released on video at some point, but this event is certainly the next best thing!

When I came home from seeing this production (JPS is one of my favorite contemporary playwrights and I was a longtime subscriber to MTC) I couldn't stop talking about PRODIGAL SON and Chalamet's bravura, astonishing performance . I immediately got tickets to see it again, and took my grandson who was visiting from San Francisco. I wanted him to see such an extraordinary tour de force by a young man his own age. After Chalamet became film famous I periodically Tweeted to him to NOT FORGET THE STAGE! As wonderful as he is in celluloid, he is electrifying on the stage in the right role, of course. Thank you John Patrick Shanley for trusting your early life to the more than capable hands of Timotheé Chalamet. (BTW, Chalamet was to return to the stage - in London - in an intimate play that I'd seen in NYC a few years ago. Sadly, COVID hit and the play was canceled. A final aside, after seeing PRODIGAL SON, I did an Internet search and discovered he was "Finn" in the series "Homeland." He also can be quite the singer. Am hoping someone writes him a Broadway musical (check out SNL appearances, and his SWEET CHARITY clips on KZfaq when he was at LaGuardia High School for the Performing Arts.)

Yes, you are right. And I don't say that lightly. My discovery and introduction to "Timmy" has been hit and miss and quite irregular. I initially just stumbled onto him surfing the internet and then went from from very recent production to another one. But had never seen his early work - like this play. From the more recent performances I knew he was excellent but had no idea he was THIS intelligent and talented. Boy was he a power-house even at this age. I must honestly concede that he really is the best of his generation. Dynamic and expressive to the hilt.
