5/5

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.

A great play. It's understandable that it won so many awards on Broadway. This intimate theatre was perfect for the production.

Good performances, great music based around a convincing story but although it was long for a purpose - for us to share their time passing slowly - it was too long and cutting 20 mins or so would have been a good thing

GREAT acting, entirely credible technical procedures, great musicianship, great exposition of the relationships between all characters. Too long; not enough songs; not enough songs played in their entirety.
