	The Talk of the Town Musical Theater Review - Cabaret Scenes
		I took delight in the ways that she brought numbers to life; I found myself looking forward to seeing how she'd handle numbers.
		It's a fascinatng era; these were some of the sharpest writers of the era, and simply quoting their brittle, caustic, pithy put-downs sets a certain tone, and gets things off to a good start.
		But when Neysa McMein, the least important character in the script, gets a song of her own, The Eye of the Hurricane, it simply slows the play up; it feels like a diversion.

	Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle (1994) : Directed by Alan Rudolph, reviewed by Nick Burton (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It was at the Algonquin "Round Table" that Parker found her wit, surrounding herself with the best and brightest in New York and hiding her unhappiness in her marriage to the drunk, morphine-addicted Eddie (Andrew McCarthy, in a surprisingly good performance).
		Parker has a brief affair with writer Charles McArthur (a typically wooden Matthew Broderick), whom tags along to the Algonquin and to the studio of artist Neysa McMein, but when the affair ends abruptly, Parker tries suicide.
		She is on hand when New Yorker magazine is launched as well, but Parker's insecurity over her writing and the intense loneliness of her life — love was sadly elusive for Parker — drive her to drink more and more, with Benchley always being there to pick up the pieces.
