MR J R E VENABLESUnited Kingdom
Really great production. Funny, Heartwrenching and a great score. 1st half runs about 10 mins longer than needed but the cast brilliantly evoked the agony and anguish of creative process behind a "perfect" album (Shades of Fleetwood Mac's Rumors album, for sure).
Definitely a must-see.

My experience at this show was definitely unique. In the first few minutes, I was worried that it would be a disaster, but very rapidly I became immersed in the experience; and by the end I was determined to come back to see it again. It was funny, sad, illuminating about creativity, and the musical performances were excellent. It has now been 8 hours since the end of the show, and I have not yet been able to stop thinking about it.
