Lincoln Center's Waves

Does anyone know if the cancellation line is worth it, or perhaps someone has an extra ticket? Any other ideas on how to score a last-minute ticket?

And is it good?

sorry, dolly ... i must beg to differ.

the production is genius. i think one's opinion comes down to precisely how insufferable one finds woolf. i thought the book was virtually impenetrable for the first 100 pages ... then it opened up and i really got into it. but it ain't no mrs. dalloway.

whatever ... for the craft alone it is entirely worth seeing.

I can't speak to the cancellation line, since I saw Waves at the National in London, but I can speak to it's quality; which is amazing.

I will add the caveat, it is not the easiest piece to get through (but frankly, neither is the novel) but for the imagery alone in act 2 (the first 15 minutes are really quite ingenious). (I was also remarkably tired when I saw it [this was the tail end of a 26 production 2 week Edinburgh/London smorgasbord] so maybe that made my job a bit harder).

I agree! Absolutely incredible storytelling! I was engrossed for almost the entire play, brought a whole new meaning to video projection in theater for me. I also saw the show at the national so I don't know how it compares.

My "No" was a response to the query about the cancellation line; not a comment on the show's merits.

Geeze!

What makes the staging so ingenious?

I saw it twice in London, and original production and then the revival with the same cast, it is incredibly beautiful and a unique piece of theatre. It is difficult though and both times I saw it there were numerous walk outs, but if you've got an open mind and a grown up attention span then hopefully you will be captivated by it!
