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 love the Old Globe theater! I also like how not a lot of people know Michael Arden there and it's less crazy so you can chat with him afterwards.

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.

There is a synopsis on both Playbill.com and the Old Globe's website.

Today's the day...found out we have partial view seating...not too bad as long as it is not partial HEARING seats...looking forward to hearing Michael.

Thanks for the link Blue!

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:

Ian is understudying the little boy. He plays a few small roles in the ensemble. Seeing this coming week. Very excited.
