There sure seems to be alot of LOVE for this show, and seemingly fantastic performances.....Yet no one has fleshed out their thoughts on the piece itself and WHY it's so great.

"I was surprised at how tight everything seemed..."

Not to brag, but the same's been said a lot about me...

What's the curtain?

Jordan, I love you.

Wow, was it as catchy as their songs in 'South Park'? Was it tough on Smith?

Also 'In The Heights' is coming to my town (Hershey PA) and I’m trying to win tickets for me and my Mom through an online contest. just click this link below and it counts as a vote for me, thanks

Apparently there was a brief stop for audio issues tonight (Feb. 24- first preview), but the show has resumed.

O M Gosh! Amazing! Felt great to laugh for two and a half hours!!

The show had a sound issue after the first number and they stopped for about 10 minutes. The director came out and said they would start from the top again. From there it was smooth sailing. I turned to my friends at the end and asked, "Can we come back tomorrow?"

The direction and choreography were spot on and the score and book will easily be nominated for Tonys. The melodies were tuneful and catchy. Definitely walked down the street singing "I am Africa" and "Salt Lake City." The two leads are endearing and Nikki M James will find much praise for her performance. The true stars for me were the "two" ensembles: The African Villagers and the Mormon elders. They had the best numbers, including a "Turn off the switch" tap dance and a play within a play retelling of the Joseph Smith story. (There was no song list in the program so I'm guessing at titles.)

The make fun of the Lion King quite a bit and it never gets old. There's a great line about them being in previews still too.

Anyone who's worried about being offended (maybe not on this board, but still) should banish all fear. Everyone is VERY likable and it never crosses any lines it shouldn't have. Congrats to all on a wonderful first preview!!!

i am looking forward to seeing what people who believe in christianity think about the show. And God in general.

"i am looking forward to seeing what people who believe in christianity think about the show. And God in general."

...What, everyone that's posted here is an atheist?

Trey Parker and Matt Stone are not anti-religion or god at all. They've been quoted as saying the musical is pro-faith.

i think most people on this site would not call themselves part of organized religion especially being christians.

I think the show is brilliant. I think when non-theater people start seeing it it will cause a HUGE outcry from religious people and protests will happen. I don't think you can sell it to groups, families, people over 65 or kids..soooo who is gonna come see it?

You can say the southpark fans but i disagree. Again, i think the show is brilliant, saw it invited dress, but this thing will run till labor day. I wish it would run for 10 years. 85% of the country calls themselves christian and they will not get the message trust me though i think the message of "religion is cool if it gives people hope and doesn't hurt anyone else..so who cares is frogs are involved or anything you want..as long as it makes people happy" BUt people will walk out way before they understand that is the message..
