I just saw this.The set, costumes, dancing, music, and actors are really on point. The lighting is great, but there is a little too much shining in the audience. This was a fun night of theater, and the sold-out audience was really into it. When I got my tickets, there were tons of seats left a month before. But word of mouth must be out because this was packed.I think the part that needs a ton of editing is the book. It doesn't set up the story's emotional core well, which I see as Don's fra...

It was a mess and dragged. I think Act 1 clocked in at 1 hour and forty minutes. And annoyingly, it broke the fourth wall too much. Worst of all, it had no emotional core or payoff. I didn't move me to care anymore about Hunter S. Thompson by the end of the show.Most of the songs weren't memorable except the last song.Though the set was visually interesting and well-lit.I'm beginning to wonder if San Diego is a good place to try out shows anymore because, apparently, the audiences love everyt...

He's dead. You don't speak for him.

We must have seen completely different shows. I enjoyed it for what it was. I'm not holding the dancers to some fictional, romanticized, unattainable standard.

I saw it in San Diego and thought it was great. What specifically was sloppy?

I got a seat through TDF, which was in Center Orchestra right on the aisle row M. Great seat for $57.

It wasn't as bad as the above poster makes it out to be. It still needs work but that's what out of town tryouts are for.I loved the new orchestrations of Benatar's songs. The leads are very strong. I liked the last 20 minutes, because the show really developed a rhythm.The show just needs to decide what it is, a version with Shakespearean language. Or a modern or dystopian future interpretation. It's not that clear.

dave1606 said:"My biggest issue has to do with why this exists. Cameron Crowe appears to have changed no aspect of the story other than to have original music here. His soundtrack to the original film is so iconic I wonder if maybe a jukebox musical would have been smarter. Tom Kitt’s score while pleasant, just isn’t very period, and to me just didn’t hold up to something like Tiny Dancer. The first opening song sounds like any other pop musical song from the past ten years which did not take...

Where are you seeing these prices?

Rarely tours have known names. I know some plays do,but touring musicals rarely. I think the only touring musical I've ever seen with a name was South Pacific with Robert Goulet in 1987.And a tour of a failed Broadway show that didn't recoup its initial investment, expect the budget to be smaller.I saw this tour and it was fun with energy. I also saw ithe show on Broadway and thought the touring cast was equal.

Cool. Also Nick Masson (the prom, newsies on tour) has one.

I have noticed that now alot of the casts have more time, many have become pretty entertaining Tiktokers. David Breeds is an Evan understudy for DEH west end https://vm.tiktok.com/t8aQmN/ Any others you like?

I’m nervous about this just as much as the next one because I’m pretty sure that he can’t sing the role and with the little singing that Aaron does (which is one of the things that upsets me about the show), that’s saying something But you also have to understand that Cameron’s fan base and demographic are very specific, but they are also HUGE and VERY loyal. We’re talking about a kid who, just two years ag...

Is he still relevant? I haven't heard about him in years.

Now I'm looking forward to seeing this on tour.

Like that they shake the camera during the earthquakes.

here is why it is popular with the gen z set: TIK TOK Snippets of the songs have more than 2 billion plays. Ok Boomer?

This show is doing great on tour, especially with drunk Jimmy Buffet fans. I still believe its broadway run should have been a limited-stop on a continual tour. It's great for an audience that normally doesn't see Broadway shows.
