Review: Here We Are Again

Review for Here We Are Again written by Ariella Carmell, age 18

Review by Emily Victoria

My friend Malin and I were lucky enough to see this play twice during the four days it was on. The first time, the premiere on Thursday, with Malin’s girlfriend Victoria, the second time with our friend Camilla. This review is an account of both performances and meetings with Lindsey.

Thursday June 4 - Premiere

I’d like to begin by saying that something was a bit distracting during this performance. Victoria, Malin and I got there and sat down front row, right at the center. On stage there were two beds, two boxes and a nightstand with two drawers and a small room under the drawers, with doors. Now back to the distraction. There we were, minding our own business, waiting for Lindsey, when Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher enter the small theater and sit down two seats to my right. No joke. We were somehow able to stay cool, and they were adorable together.

Anyhow, back to what you’re all here for.

Synopsis: Lindsey plays a 21 year old college student named Elise, who returns to her childhood bedroom to find her sister, Rosemary, already there. Elise was the ‘afterthought’ child, with an older sister and brother and the event that brings them both home is the funeral of their brother. Elise walks into the room to find Rosemary smoking, though Elise says that she thought Rose had stopped. Tension fills the room as soon as the two sisters meet again, old issues and insecurities resurfacing. Rosemary is a psychiatrist (if I remember correctly) and Elise is tired feeling like her older sister looks down on her and thinks her life is a joke. In the beginning of the play it is not immediately clear what has happened to their family, just that someone has died, which is what brought the two sisters together. It is eventually revealed that the middle sibling, their brother Josh or John, we don’t remember, passed away in an accident, most likely a drunk driving accident seeing as Elise asks Rosemary if she’d even ever seen him drink before. They continue fighting over Elise’s issues with her older sister, occasionally referencing to other family members, such as Uncle Don who’s 'smoking a J’ on the front lawn. They get emotional as the subject moves to their brother, and Elise asks Rose if she can read her eulogy to her, however Rose says no, because she doesn’t think she can handle it, but she lets Elise talk about what is in the letter, mentioning how she used to go down to the basement with him and he’d watch some kind of TV show or movie, and she’d steal his popcorn, and fall asleep, but she could always hear him laughing or crying. Elise then opens the doors on the nightstand and pulls out a red photoalbum (although this could also happen earlier in the play, don’t rely completely on my sequence, its hard to remember), and they laugh at a photo of Elise and Josh/John on the beach. The two had pretended to be merpeople, with seaweed fins for Elise and a crown made of shells for Josh/John, and they had decided that because they were merpeople they didn’t need to wear sunscreen. Rose had been in charge of them that day, and she got into so much trouble when they got home because her little siblings were all red from the sun. Later there’s a knock on the door and the lights fade, indicating a scene change, and it’s clear that they’ve been downstairs with the rest of the family and Elise has said her eulogy. She talks about all the sadness in their house, how their parents and Uncle Don, though he is still high, are like cotton balls who can’t feel any other emotions, they’re just sad. And they praise Uncle Don when Elise pulls out a pipe and lighter from a drawer on the nightstand, lighting it for her sister, then herself. While they’re smoking and getting high Rose asks Elise to tell her a secret, and Elise tells her that she lost her virginity on Rose’s bed, which shocks Rose who asks why, when their beds are practically two feet apart. Elise responds that she’s adventurous. Elise then asks Rose to tell her a secret. Earlier Elise had asked how things were going with her and her boyfriend Charles, and Rose had said that things were great, it was just that her brother’s death was sort of affecting everything else in her life. Rose’s secret however revealed that Charles had broken up with her ‘because he wanted to spawn some devils and he didn’t want his children to have an emotionless mother from the start’, and when Elise suggests that Rose didn’t want children anyways she breaks down crying, revealing that she did, she was finally ready to settle down and start a family with him. They continue talking about the two secrets, including how their mother reacted when she found out Elise had lost her virginity, how Elise felt like she couldn’t talk to Rose about it when it happened, because Rose was never there, and instead she went to talk to Josh/John about it, which was just weird, since he’s her brother. After another fight about how their age difference meant that they were never able to talk about things like that together, Rose says that she wants to change her secret and she reveals that she’s always wanted to be more like Elise. More carefree and able to live her life. Elise teases her about it, as a little sister would, and while sitting on Rose’s bed tells her sister to come over because she wants to change her secret too. When Rose is close enough she pulls her down onto her lap and hugs her, ending the play.

Review: Anyone who has any experience with theater knows that the audience plays a big part. A bad audience can mess up a play badly, as the actors depend on feedback and laughter at the right times. That being said, the first audience was the best out of the two. They laughed at the right times, they felt for the sisters as they talked about the death of their brother, and they gave more energy to the actors. People who see a play on its premiere are generally more into the theater as well. While the play was slightly different on Saturday the emotions were still the same, but the audience didn’t give off the same energy. Except for Kanner. Kanner was great on Saturday. This play was the debut of both Lindsey and Julie Gonzalo (Rosemary), and they were both great, the chemistry between them was perfect, you could tell when they came onstage after all three plays as well. They were so believable in their roles as grieving sisters. While some words here or there were mispronounced or other minor mistakes they never lost focus or got distracted. This is one of the biggest differences between theater and TV/movies. With the latter you’re allowed to make mistakes, you can just reshoot it, but with live performances you only get one shot. Sure, I’m biased, I was literally there for Lindsey, but I also have a long background with theater. I went to a performing arts high school with teachers who have attended some of the best schools for theater, if the play was bad I would have told you. It wasn’t. Like I said, it was believable and you really felt for them. During the premiere on Thursday Lindsey started crying while talking about her eulogy, and it was great. I mean, we all know she’s capable of crying on camera (Paige has cried way too much, poor thing), but it was great to see her cry in a play as well. On Saturday she cried later in the play, but it was not any less believable. When mentioning this to Lindsey after the play she said that she cried when it felt right, which is how it should be, otherwise it would look fake. Before leaving the house on Saturday our friends had been watching PLL, the episode where Paige leaves. Right before leaving Malin, Camilla and I had watched Paige cry as she left Emily at the airport. The crying in the play was just as emotional. But it was also funny; “You’re like the guilt that sticks out it’s foot and trips me” “That’s not where the term guilt tripping comes from!”, “You two got to live in the same city while I was screwing around at college” “Oh, so you admit to screwing around?” “That was not what I meant, but you know…” Elise jokes that Rose went to high school in the 70’s when she says that their uncle is getting baked. I saw the play twice, I would have happily paid 16 dollars four times to see it all four days, it’s always interesting seeing how lines are delivered, how the audience is, and in general just minor changes in the play. Lindsey can definitely do more plays in the future, I’d gladly see them. On Saturday she mentioned messing up a line at one point and I honestly didn’t even notice.

Meeting Lindsey: You know how they say never meet your heros? That definitely doesn’t apply to Lindsey. I had no expectations in advance, seeing as I didn’t even know if we were actually going to meet her! I was excited when I made eye contact with her at the end when they were all on stage. But we did meet her. Twice. On Saturday, because it was the premiere, there was a small party at the theater. The three of us went into the room and got something to drink, before hanging out in the hallways for a little while. Malin wanted to go outside to smoke, then come back, and Victoria and I decided to go with her. As we got into the foyer by the staircase we ran into Lindsey, who was saying bye to someone on the staircase. She turned to us and smiled and thanked us for coming, to which we responded that it was a great play and I told her that we were there for her. She aww’ed and said that it was really nice, and hugged all three of us, after asking what our names were and where we were from. I asked if she’d mind signing my shirt, as I pulled out my Team Paily shirt that I’d brough just in case. She loved it and asked where I’d gotten it, and happily signed it for me. She also signed Malin’s arm, and Victoria jokingly said that Malin was going to get that tattoo’d now. She did. More on that later. We talked for a long time, taking pictures and talking about the play, and how it was her debut play. She hugged us several times. I asked if I could get a photo with my new Polaroid camera and she absolutely loved it, saying she’s had one on her Amazon wish list for years, but never gotten around to buying it. I told her that was the case for me too, and that I’d finally bought a small one last year and a bigger one earlier that day. She should definitely buy one, she won’t regret it. We’d talked for a while when we mentioned that we’d seen Ryan (Sage) the day before, as he’d driven us around on the Universal backlot on his golf cart, and her reaction was “wait, what? You’re Emmy Victoria!! And you’re Malin!! Oh my god!!” as she literally fell to her knees in realization. It was great. More hugs ensued. It was a lot of fun seeing her remember us. I told her that I’d gotten Grant’s hat the day before, and showed her a picture. We told her that we’d gotten to see the Temps trailer, as some of the first people, and she said she’d seen it just a few days ago, and wasn’t it great? It is. Guys, I know you’ve been waiting for a long time, but even the trailer is brilliant, the movie’s gonna be amazing. More people who worked on the play/for the theater started gathering in the foyer, but her attention stayed with us the whole time. We even taught her to say flaggermus, which means bat (the animal). It was a special moment, for reasons that shall not be mentioned. Sorry. I also got a photo with my disposable camera, and it turned out great (I got it developed on Saturday). As Victoria was taking our photo with my phone she told Lindsey that her hair was covering her eyes, and it sounds sappy, but it was adorable. Everything about her was honestly so great. We were floating on cloud 9. We hugged her again and left when it felt appropriate (we honestly would have stayed forever if we could), and we’d gotten a total of like 5 hugs each. This is not an exaggeration. I love hugs. It was magical. She’s such a good hugger, they last forever and if you watch her when she’s hugging other people she has her eyes closed and a smile on her face. Could she get anymore adorable? No. So around 11pm we left to find a liquor store, because when in LA, and liquor stores DELIVER until 1:30am, you drink. And we were in a really good mood, we were just so happy that we’d met her and that it was everything we’d dreamed of. I’ve talked to Lindsey Shaw about Stanislavsky. Who cares if she didn’t know who he was (he was a Russian actor who developed a lot of techniques, and is important to modern theater.) I had also gotten her to write a note for Lianna and AJ, which was really sweet.

Saturday: This time Malin and I brought our friend Camilla. Camilla is more of a musicals person, but she wanted to meet Lindsey (her favorite from PLL), and I wasn’t about to let her down. Kanner was also there on Saturday, in a really awesome outfit I must say. On Friday 4 out of 5 of us (the fifth being me, Emily) got tattoo’s at a studio in Studio City. Malin had originally planned on getting a pineapple, but changed her mind and got Lindsey’s autograph tattoo’d. It looks so good. It wasn’t planned. I love it. So on Friday Malin went downstairs to smoke and meet Victoria, while Camilla and I waited for Lindsey. We met her exactly where we’d met her two days before. The foyer was almost empty as we approached her and I said “Hi Lindsey”. She recognized me immediately and hugged me, I won’t lie, it was great.I introduced her to Camilla, and said that Camilla’s birthday had been on Tuesday and she wanted her to sign her birthday card. We’d given Camilla a whole bunch of cards, and Lindsey signed one of them that we hadn’t written anything on. Ryan had also written something for her. I told her it was almost Malin’s birthday, and mine too, and she asked me when mine was. July 1st I said and she immediately responded with “Oh, you’re a cancer!” After she signed the card she hugged Camilla and I together and as Camilla was moving to pull back Lindsey was like “Uh-uh, the hug isn’t finished yet.” I asked her if she’d seen Malin’s tattoo (Malin still wasn’t upstairs), to which she said no and I showed her a photo on my phone and she freaked out. It was almost like when she’d finally recognized us the other day. I told her that it hadn’t been planned, but Malin wanted to fill her body with memories, and that was one of them. As Lindsey was looking at my phone Kanner come out as well and Lindsey instantly showed it to her. It was great. They loved it, and after we talked about it for a bit Malin came upstairs and Lindsey was all over her to see her tattoo. Kanner wanted a photo of Lindsey’s face next to it, which she sent me the next day. It was nice to see how excited she was to see us again, and we talked a bit about how different the play was, how some of the lines were delivered differently and the crying was at a different place. As we were leaving she asked us where Victoria was, and Malin was all “oh she didn’t come today” while I was all “oh she bailed on Malin. She was supposed to meet her after the play, but didn’t come.” Sorry Victoria, I can’t lie to Lindsey! But it was nice to see that she remembered Victoria as well. The three of us stood right outside the theater to smoke when Lindsey, along with Kanner and a few other people, left and she said bye to us as we stood there. All in all it was an amazing experience, both the play and meeting her, and all four of us were so enchanted by her. I don’t know if any of you remember, but during the webcasts Lindsey wrote down a bunch of words that people wanted as tattoo’s, and Ryan asked Malin if she was gonna do it, as she already has several. Malin said no, that she wasn’t that dedicated. I’m glad she got the one she did, it looks so good, and seeing how happy Malin was after the first time meeting Lindsey I know that it was the right decision. Some people have asked us if it was planned that we were gonna see her play, but it really wasn’t. Malin and I met during the Temps kickstarter. in January we met for the first time in person, and that same day (after having talked about it for 2 months) the five of us booked tickets to LA. The play wasn’t announced until right before we left for LA, it was just sheer luck, or good karma. Either way, I couldn’t have asked for a better end to my holiday. Lindsey is what brought Malin and I together, so the fact that we got to experience this together is just mind-blowing.

And for those asking, Kanner was really cool. I can see why the two of them are friends. We didn’t talk to her much, but she gave off really good vibes. Also, remember how she and Beanie Mae bonded over Android phones? Sorry guys, but she has a gold iPhone 6 now. I’ve had iPhone’s since 2007, so I’m happy to have her on my team.
