Just got in! Honestly, I expected to hate the show. On the contrary, I loved it! Granted, there were a few moments of overly cheesy material, but the performances were so stellar that I was able to get past the corny old-fashioned kiddy-ness of the show.
Raul was delicious. As were Erin, Phillip, Mark and the rest of the gang.
However, my real treat, being I just played my dream role - The Baker (INTO THE WOODS) - was seeing Chip Zien back on the stage and spending some time talking to him at the stage door. What an awesome man. And SOOOOO FRIENDLY!
The sets, costumes, orchestra, everything - stunning. Yes, it's a children's show. But if you let yourself be a little kid again for 2 and a half hours, trust me, you'll have a wonderful time!
