I never seen it and have always been curious to see it, & its playing at a local theater. It is worth seeing?

It ran like ten years on Broadway, so it can't be that bad.

On the other hand, CATS ran 18 years.

It's a beautiful, heartbreaking story. Whether a local theater could do it justice is doubtful, but I'm sure there are some that could. What is the reputation of the theater? Good work or fabulous work?
