I saw the show in Cincinnati as well. It is very powerful. Its shaping up to be a riveting evening of theatre. I liked the rewrites alot. I think it could do well if Turner stays attached. Evan Jonigkeit is delivering a Tony worthy performance-he outdoes Turner, which is quite a feat. It's very intense but exceptional. Michael Berresse is good but in a rather small role for someone of his pedigree. He must really like the piece and be committed to it.
I think it deserves a run in NY, even if Off-Broadway.
