Thanks TotallyEffed - I prefer going into things blind but wanted to make sure I wouldn't be totally lost since this is a pretty unconventional adaptation. Sounds like I should be okay.

One of the best things I've seen in a while. Yes, the play itself isn't perfect and could've benefitted from some tightening here and there, but man, Snook's performance is one for the ages. She is absolutely thrilling to watch. No question that the Tony is hers this year. 

The entire conceit of the production is, in my opinion, brilliant in both concept and execution.

Don't miss this one.

I know I’m in the minority, but this didn’t really work for me. I agree there was too much screen time and too many pre-filmed parts. I couldn’t get emotionally involved at all, and Snook felt like she was working too hard to make the feelings happen.

Thoughts on Side Orch vs Mezz (more center) for this production? I know there's a lot of projection work.

I always prefer to be closer but for this production I’d suggest some distance. I sat Row E and it was way too close.

I sat in Orch J16 which was great as I could see all screens and stage well. Also sat in Orch L22 which was fine but there were a few moments a smaller screen was blocked.
