Hey folks, I was at the final dress rehearsal last night. I don't usually write here about my experiences at final dress rehearsals because they are still figuring stuff out, but I felt compelled to tell you all that this show is an absolute must to go see. Word is going to spread and this show will be a hard ticket. One of the best productions I have seen over the past year. Being their final dress, the show is in very very good shape. The production value is top notch... the set fills the entire Shubert stage, the actors were brilliant, the writing I felt gave new energy to a story we all know so well. Sorkin has really brought out layers and complexity not only to the main characters, but also the supporting roles. Sher has staged it in an epic way. The first acts was 90 minutes long and the second act was about 85 minutes long, so right now it is a little close to 3 hours. But honestly, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and it didn't feel like 3 hours, it moves as quickly as what you would expect from a Sorkin script. I don't want to go into details out of respect for the producers about what elements I loved and what I think they need to work on, but I just wanted to chime in and say go buy a ticket if you haven't already done so.
