    Santaland Diaries- Waste of time

    by Alley12345 on 11/29/17Shubert Theatre - New Haven

    No energy and boring! It's too bad because the book is incredible and hearing David Sedaris read the book is amazing!

    Our expectations were too high

    by CharlottePickott on 11/28/17Shubert Theatre - New Haven

    My husband and I brought my parents to see the show. We had no idea the show would not be in the theater. We sat on small, rickety chairs that were so uncomfortable some people had to get up and stand to the side during the show. The uncomfortable chairs proved to be a large inhibitor to us becoming engrossed in the story. We found the actor’s comedic timing a bit off and we had trouble connecting to him. Every time he sat on the small box, we couldn’t see him, and that made us fade from the storyline. We had much higher expectations for the venue and for the performance.

    Expensive to sit not inside theatre. Show was not funny and did not captivate me.

    Absolutely LOVE this show!!!

    by SedarisLover on 1/1/12Studio Three Riffe Center - Columbus

    This was the fourth time I've seen Santaland Diaries. The show is typical David Sedaris-hysterical and Jonathan Putnam is incredibly funny and talented. Very well done! I highly recommend this to anyone who loves to laugh - a lot.

    Not What We Expected

    by Anonymous on 12/27/11Studio Three Riffe Center - Columbus

    This show was not at all what we expected. I've read David Sedaris' books and enjoyed them and knowing his background with SNL, thought this would be a fun outing - it was not entertaining at all. The man who acted it out was an older gentleman, and his delivery did not do the work justice. Some of the jokes were also in poor taste - and I am a person who loves comedy when it's done right and I hardly ever get offended. Overall, it was a waste of time and money.

    Santaland Diaries' actor does Sedaris well

    by Carolers on 1/1/11Hennepin Stages - Minneapolis

    This rendition of David Sedaris' Santaland Diaries was in the spirit of the story and next best to having Sedaris perform. The acting was full of expression and movement. The lighting was excellent, especially in the Satan scene. We loved the smaller theater setting. Go next year!

    I recently saw the one man production of David Sedaris', "The Santaland Diaries" and thought the show was quite well done. The actor was extremely expressive, kept the audience engaged and did a nice job of keeping the storyline even to what Sedaris had in his essay. A delightful & funny holiday show in an intimate theater. Well done!
