Friends, forgive me.
I just got in (and) I'm processing.
I will say this, though:
"I. Bawled. Like. A. Baby."
Review to follow.

"I. Bawled. Like. A. Baby."
Lol. Thats the best way I could have summed up my very first experience with the show (oh so many years ago at NYMF). The entire second act was just me crying uncontrollably. Which was then followed by me (still a complete wreck) accosting Amy Spanger outside the Barrow Group.

Posted: 4/19/09 at 3:41amI was there and liked it...but I certainly wasn't bawling my eyes out. I actually thought Damiano and Hobson were the two standouts tonight vocally (though Aaron was great as always and Alice is only getting better). I think it's a very well written show, but it just didn't have the emotional impact the second time around, which is a tell.

I was there Saturday as well. All I can say is at this point is "wow".
I need to digest.
