I saw it last night. I think it’s an enjoyable evening and very well conceived and directed. This was my first exposure to this version but I knew Lippa’s version. I think this story just doesn’t quite land for me. The characters all seem more like agents of chaos than people making choices. That said in this production I found myself following the ensemble in the background more than the leads.

Of course I have tickets for 3/25 and am just learning I will miss Donica. He is one of the main reasons I bought a ticket. Did I just miss this or was this a recent announcement added to the website?

If you can go a different date I'm sure they would switch your tickets for you.

This makes complete sense to me. But I do mourn losing the little bit of the Brothers D'Armano in that number --- them singing "A Little Mmm" but instead of an easy jazz 4it's somehow a swing waltz (without rewritingthe vocal!). My personal favorite musical "trick" of the evening..."

I too love this moment, and this song. A bit  bummed to hear it's gone!
