Saw this at Sunday's matinee. I really liked it.
I thought Act II was MUCH stronger than Act I. I enjoyed Act I -- enough to care about the characters and enough to look forward to intermission being over, but I just felt like all of the act was exposition.
I liked all of the performances, and loved the local (I'm from Boston) references. (Although I'm not really sure if Estelle's was quite a Tony nom worthy.)
The show was sold out, and had no problems with my 3rd row Mezz seat.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
