Saw it, had some nice moments and a good cast, but ultimately (for me, at least) not that interesting.

Posted: 8/5/10 at 9:19amI thought it was pretty great. I loved the simplicity of it and the fact that for musical theater it wasn't all cheery and "life is perfect." It had some good, smaller moments. I think some of the bits could use some reworking and the "alien encounter" part was a stupid way to end his story, but the set-up and staging kept me interested. I would recommend it.

Posted: 8/5/10 at 9:38amThe show as a whole doesn't really come together, but the cast is wonderful and much of the score is really great. It's definitely worth seeing.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 8/5/10 at 11:21pmI'm glad I went, I enjoyed the show a lot. The seating arrangement is definitely a little different but I liked the idea. Everyone had a great voice and I highly enjoyed some of the some songs. I would definitely recommend checking the show out, the lighting is fantastic.
