Moon one-upped the London Transit System and "created" a double-decker bus with a poster for "A Few Good Men" on the side. Rob should have been plastered everywhere. Thanks Moon!

everybody who loved "beach girls"--come to london and see rob lowe in "a few good men," now playing in the west end. he's beyond great, the play is stunning... by aaron sorkin, who wrote "the west wing," the play is provocative, funny, shocking, incredibly moving. i had seen the film and thought it very powerful, but nothing prepared me for the impact i'd feel as an american in london at this moment in time, sitting in the audience, watching the action unfold, seeing rob in the lead--having loved him in "beach girls," watched him bring jack kilvert to life, i'm really in awe of the fact that he was preparing for this even while in nova scotia. his performance is absolutely riveting--and wrenching.
rob's character starts off very light and funny. but you watch his realizations about the military, the man he's ordered to defend, the idea of conspiracy growing, snowballing--and by the end of the play, he is not the same man he was at the start of act one...
there were a few major solar plexus moments--a few scenes having to do with rob's character's relationship with his father, his interaction with the really great jack ellis as nathan jessup, the overall sense of the playwright's presience and compassion, and one moment during the last few seconds--as rob is leaving the stage--where he does something that will give you goosebumps. and, if you're like me, make you cry. i was totally unprepared for how emotional i'd feel after the performance.
all the actors are fabulous, and the sets wildly inventive.
julia ormond came to see him saturday night--it was so fun to see the polaroid carol took of "jack and stevie"--from hubbard's point all the way to london--hanging on his dressing room wall.
okay--book your flights now. order tickets, reserve your hotel rooms, get thee to the theatre royal in haymarket... you only have til december.
Rob in his Dressing Room
Rob always has time to spend with his fans. He appreciates every one of us who come around to the Stage Door after the play to introduce ourselves, shake his hand, get a hug, or just say hi. Here are a couple of happy fans enjoying their time with Rob after the play. And again, one came from the United States just to see the play and meet Rob.
