And now here is Imelda 30+ years later, the subject of a party-like show on Broadway while her son is leading the Philippines. Implicate the audience, implicate the country, in all this. Have people sing along to a boppy tune and then pull the rug out from under them."

This. 100 %.

 @Jarethan is bang-on. The play was meh and short. Silver and Mantegna were good. And I thought Madonna was fine. The role didn't demand much of her. That's what she delivered.

The thing that I remember more than the play was the crazy stage door scene when we were trying to exit the theatre. Barricades everywhere. It took some effort to get out of the area.

@vernongersch - I’m with you on this. Liked it. Was glad I saw it. But my expectations were probably unrealistic after all of the incredible UK reviews. 

Thanks, Jordan. 

Back To The Future it is!!! (I did see Life of Pi back in the fall. Loved it!!)

Thanks for taking the time. Much appreciated.

 

I so wish I could have been there.

This show is such an extraordinary thing to experience. I’ve seen it three times in different cities and I was a mess    At the end of each visit.:)

i dont get back to the city til the end of June. I do wish the run could hold on for a couple of extra weeks. Sigh.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

it looks like I’ve got some prep to do ahead of my June visit.

@blaxx, I’m seeing it in June. 
there’s some discussion on the West End Theatreboard that people were having trouble following the performance and actually missing parts.

Did you have any problems?

 

Thanks, again. Jordan. Much appreciated.

Owen22, anything you can post here? I didn't receive an email from the theatre and can't see it on their website.  

Oh, and thanks for flagging. Much appreciated.

I saw the production at the Public as well as the Toronto and West End productions. I think it's an amazing piece of work. So beautiful and so poignant. And the musical performances are really terrific.

But I'm just one more opinion on this thread.

Take your husband and go. It's definitely worth the risk. :)

If things that aren't yet announced come to fruition over other things that were never announced it is good to preannounce one's disappointment."

I think this made my day. :) Thanks for the wisdom, Haterobics.
