Did anybody see The Pillowman? I really want to see that, so I was wondering what you all thought about the show.

I saw it and highly recommend it. The writing, acting, and production design and everything were all great. One interesting thing about it is that everyone seems to think it's mostly "about" something different- I thought it was all about writing and artistic freedom, and my mom saw it as a big exercise in genre and making the audience uncomfortable (I love that I have a mom who I can go to see plays like this with) and all the critics seem to say different things too. I also recommend you don't let anyone tell you much about the plot or any "spoilers" because it's much better if you don't know what's going to happen.

The Pillowman is so amazing, but disturbing. Although they make the disturbing parts somewhat funny.
And Billy Crudup is amazing!!

Jeff Goldblum was really excellent, and Crudup did nicely for himself, as well. I thought the play was great- creepy, startling, and thick with black comedy. I had to stand for the first act and I barely minded.

Saw it and loved it. Great performances all around. It may help to have a dark or twisted sense of humor.

Funny and disturbing. Saw it twice. Highly recommended. It and Doubt are must-see Dramas.
