A truly moving and unforgettable evening in the theatre. Total silence at the end interrupted by one over excited clapper!

I attended a reasonable performance of Five Last Years last evening and spent the time wondering why such an intimate show required body mikes and amplified instrumental ensemble. Is this show always performed like this?

Does anyone know when the piano vocal or at least excerpts from the show will be available and who is publishing?

Did you know o o o Marilyn Munroe!
