Seeing ACE in San Diego Sunday night!!!

What is the news on this show? I read some good reviews about the Cincy and Toronto shows. Is there more info?

Getting to see Michael Arden will be good enough for me. I don't know much about the history of the show, can anyone enlighten?

I will post a review when I get back from San Diego.

Pray that Michael is on, when I went down to SD for "Times" he was out, I was pretty bummed.

I really hope you have a fun and enjoy his sing! I'm looking forward to hearing your review! I'll definitely cross my fingers for you!!

I saw this show in Cincy a few months ago.
It looks like the cast has changed a bit, but I gauntee you that you'll love the young boy played by Noah Galvin-
He gives a masterful performance.
The the score is quite good and I thought that with a little tweaking and some cutting (it ran about 2h 30m, unnecessarily) it could be a very quality piece that can really be intriguing to all ages and sexes. Many of the middle aged/older males that were in the theater when I saw it left crying.
I think you'll probably enjoy it but to me it's more of a smaller scaled/ chamber type show. The theater I saw it in seats approx. 500 or so and that would be about as large as I would think necessary.
Arden should be great in that role-It's a great role. He wan't involved with the production I saw though so don't know.
I hope you enjoy!

OK...could someone give me the basic plot, without spoilers, if there are any. Is it a father/son relationship show? Why the emotions?

thanks.

I saw the show last night. Wasn't quite what I expected but it was really good none-the-less. I actually almost formed a tear. I'm in a rush right now but I'll write more later.

In the meantime, I've uploaded some photos from the program and what not onto a new group I created on MySpace. Feel free to join it:

Also, how was Betsy Wolfe?
