I'm somewhat loathe to add fuel to the fire, but for the record, I actually had to google "shill" to find out what the haters were shouting about. Sorry to disappoint, I'm just a fan. And, planning to see the show again in 2 weeks. ps, thanks for chiming in with the support "iamdangoodman"

To answer a few questions, based on last night's performance: - the show was over at 10:45pm - the TDF seats were absolutely fine, rear mezz, off to the side, great view - none of my party could hear Angela well at ALL -- I thought she was having some serious mic issues but nothing was adjusted during intermission. - The first 10 minutes were so painfully slow I practically forgot what play I was seeing, and overall the show needs major cuts, as it drags horribly in many spots.
