Profile for Left Coast Theater Enjoyer

Haven't opened this board in a while, I saw it a few weeks ago.  I found it tight, compelling and well done with an exceptional cast.  But listening to audience convos before and after the show (eavesdropping has such a negative slant), many seem to be hung up on the "downer subject" aspect (the person in front of me said this to their seatmate).  I had the thought as the show progressed that I'm not sure how well this works as a commercial venture,

Yes, there was a noticeable amount of, um, improv when I saw it.  I'll leave it at that...

Was there Weds.  Wayne Brady, as expected, shines and is a charismatic Zigler.  Christian Douglas looked like a longtime Broadway vet, not someone who had his Broadway debut the night before.  Ashley Loren is even better this time.  Diggs...WTAF.  Saw this on twitter that captures the thoughts of myself and several around me
