Brooklyn 11/26 and 11/27

Hey everyone. I just got back from New York, and it was so fun! My family had tickets to go see Brooklyn on Friday the 26, and I really enjoyed it! I have to agree that the storyline is not much, but the cast is AMAZING! I think they are definitely the most talented people on broadway. I would pay over and over again just to hear them sing. The show was sold on Friday night, and it was packed with people who bought standing room only also. I was happy to see that. I enjoyed the show so much Friday night, that I got a ticket to see it Saturday again. It was great Saturday too, and it was another sell out. Eden rocked the house both nights with her huge voice. Everyone, go see it. If not for the story, then just see it to hear this amazing cast. They are truly the most talented group of people.

Yea, he was there both nights when I went. The whole audience stood when I went, and they deserved it. They are so talented.

I'm still undecided about this show. I'll admitt I was excited about it until I heard and read reviews. Now I don't know whether or not I should venture to see "Brooklyn".

That's basically what I've been hearing about this show: Great performances, but book and music not so much. That's why I'm looking forward to the CD!

The same thing happend to me with Dracula.
I heard all the negative reviews of the critics..
Some of them even called it Drekula,
But when i went to see it for the first time i loved it!
So you should really see it, and then decide for yourself.

I saw "Brooklyn" in preview and had heard none of the bad reviews before seeing it so I don't feel that I was influenced by anyone.

Yes, the singers are good and yes, the story is pretty bad and some of the lyrics are so trite that you can't believe that a professional actually wrote those words.

I do intend to get the CD. I don't mind putting out the $13.99 that it would cost me to get it from Amazon.com. I will not, however, pay any more than that to sit in a theatre and watch the show again.

The best thing about the show, IMHO, is listening to some of the songs and I can do that from the comfort of my home (or car) and then I can go to the theatre to see something that I feel would actually be worth a trip to the theatre.

I saw the show on Saturday afternoon and like some people I was excited to see the show, but was afraid because of the reviews it got. I must say I was extremely impressed. I respect everyone's opinions, and do agree that the book is not original at all, but I thought the music was excellent. Not to mention I loved the sets, and (don't hate me for saying this but) I also loved the costumes. With having this particular setting of the show I thought the creativity was awesome in its visual representation. As for the cast they were totally out of this world, and the entire audience gave a standing o at the end of the show. Hope their success continues!
