This show TRACES opened in Chicago to raves yesterday. Apparently it's a new version of a show that's played around the world...Does anyone know if its going to Broadway? I asked someone in the lobby and they said it was going to Los Angeles next, and then they would decide. I thought it was AMAZING. It was sort of like STOMP meets cirque. There also some great moments of music and visuals that were stunning.

I wouldn't be surprised... it got GREAT reviews, and word of mouth has been great as well. I could see this opening for a limited run in NY. Like along the lines as Soul of Shaolin... just to give the theatre a source of income between shows.

A few friends were invited to a preview and they absolutely RAVED about it. They described it as a mix between Cirque du Soliel, Stomp, and a Broadway Musical. Never heard of this before but I just may have to check it out...


"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

It's hitting the left coast in January. I just bought tickets yesterday since I was near Hollywood anyway and could avoid TicketBastard.

I'm sure they'd love a stop in NY (it's more an Off-Broadway show) but my understanding is that they're trying to get a full US Tour going after their initial long runs in Chicago, LA and (I think) Denver.

It's already played Broadway. Sort of. Well, Off-Broadway I guess.

It ran at the Victory Theatre (next to Hilton/Foxwood) a few years ago (2008?). But I think there's an extra cast member in the show now. But yah, I would love to see this again. It's just amazing watching them do what they do.
