I really enjoyed this last night! I loved the set design and all the inventive movement that never became tired or gimmicky - it was a visual feast that surprised throughout. I found the music to be pleasant and perfectly matched the endearing charm of the story. I suppose one could accuse of it being too mellow, but I found that big, showy numbers weren't necessary.
Any thoughts on first two rows in terms of sight lines? They’re pretty heavily discounted normal seats, but I’d rather center than side if the sides are so obstructed, and orchestra than balcony if the front apron is obstructed.
But if the stage is obscenely high or another thing… gahhh why is it so hard to get cheap tickets that can actually see the damn thing?
Went into this fully blind but had a nagging feeling I would hate it -- I think I had somehow conflated it in my mind with Be More Chill if I'm being fully honest. Instead, I wound up being completely charmed by this sweet little show. To answer those who've asked: there were no "wow" moments or spectacles (though I was impressed by the projections), and the songs were relatively subdued - but nevertheless it is truly original and has a whole lot of heart. I think Broadway needs more of that.
