Has anyone seen this with Brian J. Smith & Paul Sparks (Brendan Fraser's replacement) ?

I have not seen it (yet?), but it has scored highly on Show Score and a poster on Talkin' Broadway liked it very much.

Thank you.  It's selling so guess we should get tickets now.  Hunter's last play at Signature, A Case For The Existence of God, was wonderful.

Saw this tonight and thought it was really great.  I've been a huge Samuel D. Hunter fan since Case for the Existence of God and I'm willing to see anything he's written, but I was afraid I had overhyped his writing in my mind going into this.  It started off a bit slow for me but by the third scene I remembered why I loved his writing so much and how rich his characters are.  I don't think it's quite as resonant for me as Case, and I'm not sure I fully understand the character motivations in transitioning to the last scene (or whether that's intended to be a mystery), but overall it's a fantastic two-hander and both actors do great work with it.
