Did anyone pay anything, much less $60, to see this? I was assuming most of the 20 or so people in the audience with me Sunday afternoon were comps.

I guess this means no cast album
The show now joins the ranks of its bigger brothers on Broadway who opened & closed the same night

I went to the opening. It was one of those shows that you can't look away. It made Prymate look good. You all know how much I loved that show.

PS: The cast were all very good. The show however was one of the worst trainwrecks I have ever seen. Sad but true.
It was very offensive and tacky.

Ha! I'll be sure to hold on to it for future ebay purposes.
But it wasn't a Playbill -- just a paper program.
eta: And why is everyone saying this show was Off-Broadway? It was Off-Off-Broadway.

Sorry we had to endure all those ads.

The ads also got through my pop-up blockers, but that's another story, nevermind, anyway.
As always, I feel sorry for the cast and creative team, and I hope that they move on to bigger and better things, but this show sounds like an unredeemable disaster.

The pictures make it look interesting at least? They used canned music? That SUCKS.

Yes, and it was hard to hear -- for the actors, too, apparently.

the building was not originally meant to be a theatre. It's a masonic lodge in a townhouse that is re-configured into two theatres... painted black... and the backstage area is an enclosed fire escape. like... a stairwell... it's SO hard to work around... it's just not meant to be a theatre... not that that is an excuse for this show... but.. it's really hard.
