Andy's Play (#7.3)

[ComedyFan2010 · 9/10 · 24 January 2019]

The office goes to see Andy in Sweeney Todd.

Great episode. The whole performance was great, including the phone call, wine bottle passing and Michael booing. I also loved to see a part of his audition.

And I like how things are going between Angela and Dwight. He seems to remember how much he likes her.

Best Episode In Years

[TheKingofDirk · 10/10 · 9 October 2010]

This show has had many peaks and valleys and while it remains to be seen how the 7th season will eventually play out, this episode is one of the best in years. If you are an old school Office fan and liked the show for it's more restrained and heart warming moments, this episode offers that. It still has the over the top broadness of recent history, however, those moments fit into this episode seamlessly.

Remember season 2/3 when the show had the ability to make you laugh so much you nearly choked to having sympathy/empathy for a character(s) in a devastating emotional moment to having you wipe tears out of your eyes to see the whole cast involved in something together whether it was silly or poignant (or both)? That's the kind of stuff this episode has. There isn't one false step in this episode; everything works. That's something I haven't been able to say for this show over the majority of the last 3 seasons. There have been great episodes scattered throughout those three seasons (sometimes even in stretches) but the consistency hasn't been there.

For this season while some episodes haven't been as funny as others the believability factor has been there early into this season. And for this episode everything came together again...not only is it believable but it is hilarious and emotionally compelling. And from what I know about what next weeks episode is about, things are looking good for the show to ride this wave of greatness.

Wow

I think one can imagine how happy i was to see my favorite character in my favorite tv show singing my favorite tunes from my favorite musical. Plus Michael performing an entire episode of "Law & Order" by himself for his audition? I mean 10/10.

Andy's Amazing Show and Angela's Beauty

[vivianla · 10 January 2021]

Andy and his cast does a short ad for their play. Andy begs for Michael to come. One by one the office workers end up planning on going. Angela wants Dwight to take her to this play.

Angela intentionally gets gum on her skirt and leaves the play to change. She comes back in a sexier outfit with a tighter plaid collared top and skinny jeans. The camera zooms in on her butt.

The play ends beautifully and the background music is intense and cool.

Angela and Dwight go outside later and the breeze comes perfectly right when Angela is looking afar. Dwight is mesmerized in that moment because of her beauty. Angela knowingly grabs his hand and tells him to come on.

They get to the car and Dwight wants sex but Angela says she is tired. She reaches into his pocket and grabs the hole puncher. Dwight thought she was going to give a hand job. She starts the car.

Erin has brought the baby to the show secretly. Only when Cece cries does the Halperts see their daughter. At the end of the episode the Halperts drink alcohol as Cece sleeps in the back. Andy and the rest of the office group make merry in the theatre.

Andy at his most desperate

[PWNYCNY · 10/10 · 16 November 2018]

Such a sad episode. The saga of Andy Bernard continues. He is the ultimate loser. Nothing he does pans out. Even good things, like being in a play, for Andy turns into mud. He is pursuing Meredith and failing. He is doing everything to get her to like him, but is failing and is too stupid to know when to stop. Watching Andy fail becomes excruciating. He is such a goof up. he is the Barney Fife of the 2000s. he is one of the most unattractive characters in the history of television sitcoms. he's not even good at sucking up. He inspires pity. His pursuit of Meredith is pathological. Meredith has rejected Andy. Yet Andy is determined to get her back. When she would rather babysit for Pam than go watch Andy in his play is an unmistakably clear message of her lack of interest in him, yet he does not get the message. She is merely polite to Andy, but Andy misinterprets that as interest in him. He is a dullard, a foil, and a fool.
