A TALE OF TWO CITIES - Second Preview - 8/20/08 — Page 2

I saw the show on Friday and was shocked at what a state the show is in. I know it is in previews but the lighting was god awful. It wasn't even lighting half of the action. The transitions and ending were laughable. Most of the people around me reffered to the stageing as something you would see in a high school. The stupid grave yard song NEEDS to be cut. There needs to be a bigger diffrence between France and England.

The voices were EXCELLENT. The accents were awful. The Costumes are great. The score, orchestrations, and book are very good. Suprisingly good.

I enjoyed the show. Wouldn't recomend it to anyone unless it has some big fixes by opening night.

I work in the front of the house and they are not selling the box seats at the moment due to the right boxes being used in the show

I think I saw some of the creative team taking notes in the right boxes on Friday night...

I too saw members of the creative team take notes there. However, it was during the first preview.

I'm getting my window card framed tomorrow at Triton. I got the cast to sign it, as well as set designer Tony Walton, director Warren Carlyle and the gorgeous Jill Santoriello. Can't wait for the souvenir program and cast recording to be released!!!

I am sure that the second row is going to have the same obstructed view problems as the first row.

Also depends where you are in the 2nd row; if not at the extreme sides, you might get a decent view. the footlights didn't bother me much.

without a trace, I haven't been seeing Tale tickets on tdf. Do they pop up at the last minute, or have they dried up?

it was on the board from the very start. I dont know if thats only because its monday, but i had no problem getting tickets.

I agree, the graveyard song needs to be cut.

How many times have you seen it WAT?

It sounds like it's a great musical!
