Has anyone seen the new play "Flight" yet at the Lucille Lortel. It has a very impressive cast of actors known mostly for musical theatre...Just wondering if there were any opinions of the show yet...

I saw a preview on Wed. My very good friend is the assistant director.
The first act is slow. The second act, while not entirely coherent, is much more entertaining. Kerry O'Malley is remarkable and totally worth seeing it for. Gregg Edelman is still gettin into a groove, but I believe will end up turning in a very impressive performance. Brian D'arcy is adequate, but I think perhaps its the fault of the writing and the role and not necessarily his performance. He does have a killer, albeit brief scene in the second act, where you catch a glimpse of his alleged brilliance.
The shole show looks great, and I did feel I learned a lot about Charles Lindbergh.
