The show was fantastic. I don't know why the critics were so unkind in reviewing this production. The entire cast was so strong, the voices wonderful, the acting top-notch, movement SO fluid, strong and agile.
We laughed, cried... The STRONGEST thing I have to say about our experience with this show is that people need to think for themselves and not base the choice of shows solely upon the reviews of others. Not everyone is looking for the same thing in a live performance experience... learn about the shows you are interested in and follow your heart.
Had I listened to the negative reviews, I would not have gotten tickets for this show at all... and it turned out to be the most powerful theater experience for us of the 4 we went to see... one night before the recently announced final curtain on this production... and I am certain the reason for the show being pulled is NOT because of quality, but because of the influence of the critics. Thank goodness we went anyway... I will never forget how great that evening was.
