Enberg's "McGuire"

[Slick]

Just drove hundreds of miles to see the McGuire Play at the REP. Very well done. Crivello really looks like Al. Do any of you "Locals" know if any of the current coaching staff has seen it?

Several players from late 60's and early 70's saw it our Alumni weekend and loved it. Crivello knocked it out of the park.

the REP?   Question from an FIB.

[Daniel]

How long does it run?  I wanted to see it.  Crivello was ine the first logic class I taught at MU.   Great guy.  I also heard he was terrific

Ends Saturday I believe. Virtually sold out every performance for 6-7 weeks.

Haha. Haven't seen that acronym for a long time.

It is fabulous!!!  Eerie how much Crivello looks like Al.  Captures an incident that very few know about and I have not seen in books about Al.  He got arrested in Detroit after a game with Vitale's Detroit game!!!!  Couple of different versions---the in the play is that he inadvertently elbowed a police officer during a fracas while trying to protect/extricate one of his players.  Another version was that he clocked a police officer while swinging back at a Detroit fan that had swung at him and the timing of the officers intervention was quite unfortunate!!!  Wadesworld's grandfather got him out of jail that night (long story!!!)  Three days later, the charges are dropped.  I always wondered if the cop got a check!!!

'bout time you joined this message board.  If'n it's who I think it 'tis--your honor. 

And if I'm not mistaken (I haven't seen it yet--tix have been purchased) Crivello was a cheerleader during the '73-74 season.

He was.  Told a hilarious story about how it happened after the performance.

Snooze you lose I guess. I was going to get some tickets and they are sold out...bummer. Anyone know if they are doing this anywhere else?

[Marquette4life]

How can I get tickets

You taught logic? Did you use Star Hustler in your "if p then q" questions?

[brewcity77]

I bought my ticket a couple weeks ago and they were down to singles. Couldn't take the wife unless we wanted to sit across the room from each other, so she's staying home. I'll be well dressed. Wouldn't surprise me if every show is now sold out.

[JD]

Tickets are sold out on the website, but my fiancé knew I wanted to go so badly she called.

The deal is you can get tickets but they're bad seats. "Pole in the way, etc"

We still purchased.  Do what you have to do.

[mileskishnish72]

Fiance needs another e?

[Bocephys]

They're doing a summer run of it as well for anyone that couldn't get tickets.  I got a chance to go last week and it was great, well worth your time.

Thanks for posting, I just bought some.

Saw it last night.  This is a must see play for Marquette fans.  We went with two other couples that included Badger leaning folk, and they were equally enthusiastic about it (perhaps because they were hearing some of the tales for the first time).

As others have mentioned, Crivello truly has you believing that he's Al.  Only one thing surprised me a bit:  in one segment concerning Al as sinner vs. saint there is a clear inference that he wandered off the marital ranch.  I had never heard any talk of Al catting around.  Not judging, not shocked--just was news to me.

But go see it when it returns in June.  I'd see it again.

[Daniel]

Heading up to see it Wednesday afternoon - only had bar seating left though, which is not good.  But Crivello was in the first logic class I taught at MU - will be great to see him again..... great career he has had so far.

I'm also seeing it Wednesday afternoon. Looking forward to it, will be in full Marquette regalia.

I'm going to hang out in bar area after the 1:30 show.   If Tony has time he might pop out to say hi after the show he told me.  Hope to meet you there!
