I got a discount offer in the mail for this new musical, and I was wondering what everyone's heard about it/if anyone has seen it. It seems to have gotten a good review from the New York Times!

A fascinating and thought-provoking show, with a great score and great performances. Don't hesitate, go.

Agreed, Gustof. This is one of the few shows I'd actually pay to see again.

Easily one of the best shows I have seen in a long time.

My friend works at the Minetta Lane and said the show was amazing. She also said alot of people dont get it and it's very dark but still amazing!

It's a brilliant musical. The cast is incredible. I saw it on Saturday and haven't been able to get the songs out of my head since.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Seeing the second song -- I think it's called "Numbers" -- performed live is worth the price of admission, especially if you have a discount code.

I wanted to see it while I was in the city, but I didn't want to wander off-Broadway because I don't know the city that well. I want to hear the music from this show though!
