I saw this production on its first day of previews back in February. We sat in side orchestra row L and loved the performance, though did feel bored during certain parts (more at fault with the book than the performers.)
Anyway, I actually preferred the livestreaming? Why? Well, I was comfortable on my couch eating what else? vanilla ice cream! Also, we were able to see soem nice closeups of the facial expressions of Jane Krakowski, Laura Benanti, and of course Zachary Levi. I also have to say kudos to the cameramen for showing different perspectives and angles throughout the livestream (whereas when we saw the show in the theater, we only saw the entire show from one view/perspective.
Imagine if Hamilton did a live streaming!??!?!?!?! Anyways, I'm really glad BroadwayHD chose She Loves Me to livestream first and hopefully more shows will go this route. This is particularly great for families and those who do not live in New York City nor have the $$$ to travel here and watch a Bway show.
