NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW FOR BENGAL TIGER

APRIL 1, 2011, 12:54 am

From the NY Times:
"Mr. Williams, the kinetic comic who has sometimes revealed a marshmallowy streak in movies, never indulges the audience’s hunger for displays of humorous invention or pinpricks of poignancy. He gives a performance of focused intelligence and integrity, embodying the animal who becomes the play’s questioning conscience with a savage bite that never loosens its grip. And, oh yes, Mr. Williams is quite funny too."

Dear Mr. Robin,

I feel very happy to write a comment but my comment is more like a request, and I am not sure if it will reach to you just in time but I am very hopeful and i will try my best to do it.

Me and my significant other, Eglantina are going to be part of your humble audience for your current show on Broadway, NYC "Bengal Tiger at Baghdad Zoo" on July 1, 2011 at 8.00pm. Lately she has been at an extremely tough spot in her life and has been at distance from me because of these issues, and I would like to request you to be my medium to tell her that I love her more than anything in my life and am here for her when she needs me.

I understand that it is a very normal thing and love is not the biggest thing but I and her are very fond of your role in Mrs. Doubtfire, and I feel that just like you went lengths to be with the kids, I am trying to save my entire relationship with her. You see, she means more than just a girlfriend or a woman to me.

I know your two words probably would not reduce the hard work I need to do to help her through this time but it might work as a lifeline to our relationship.

I really pray to god that you will get this and consider it.

My name is Vikas and I will be most grateful for the rest of my life if you would even consider doing it. I have less hope but I am still hopeful.

Despite, I wish you the very best for your life and want to thank you for spreading smiles in your audiences lives.

Thank you,

Vikas & Eglantina

My daughter gifted me for Mother's day with tickets to this play. She knows that I adore Robin Williams, and now she knows why. His portrayal of the deceased Tiger was bright, bold, and brilliant!
There was quite a bit of vulgarity and sexual overtones which I squirmed in my seat about, but the story line itself was precise and appreciated for what its creator intended.
Having been a fan of Robins for 36 years, it is so precious to know he is the talent I always felt him to be. And his appreciation of his fans speaks volumes.
Thank you Robin for the photo with my daughter and soon to be grandson, it was a special moment in time we will always treasure...Thank you for being exactly who I thought you would be- does my heart good......
