If you look ahead at their schedule, they're doing four shows day on Saturdays and Sundays starting in May.

That makes more sense!

It goes up to 5 performances on the weekends starting 6/12, and then to 5 performances every day on 7/5.

Side note: tickets are only sold in pairs.

Looks like ACL2006 called it. The show will close early on July 25th

Seems like this one suffered from bad timing. They might have waited a bit too long to start. Now that people are looking ahead to live theatre with actors (and some of it is already happening), there might not be as much demand for an experience like this.

I think I might try to see it before it closes, but not sure.

I saw this a few weeks ago and enjoyed it! Got discount tickets through TodayTix for a Sunday afternoon performance. Pretty much a full house when I went!

I agree that this would've been more effective with multiple voice actors rather than a single narrator perspective. I don't know the source, but I assume the book was from the same perspective? But the design of this show was very cool, especially sound and lighting.

Not the best thing I've ever seen, but worth catching!

I think I saw this back when it first came out in March, but it was quite forgettable, I forgot I had seen it till this thread.

Felt mixed about the show, I enjoyed the sound design and lighting, but the narration was uneven at times. i would consider it overpriced, especially since I went alone so had to pay for the price of two (I hope theatres stop doing this).

I haven’t read the book its based on, but I’ve read other works by the author, and its quite different. His prose is philosophical, heartfelt, and funny. I recommend the book.

Been debating about getting a ticket for August when it comes to Toronto, but I feel like I might be wasting my money. Just doesn't sound interesting...but I want to be in a theatre so badly!
