EDSOSLO858 said: "ACL2006 said: "It's weekly nut must be fairly low. Two person cast, two understudies, five piece band. Small crew and set. Currently, this is the only new musical I want to see. Nothing else seems appealing. Dolly and Purple Rain were supposed to be big musicals but both seem to be DOA at the moment."

Last I heard, PURPLE RAIN had its Broadwayhouse and dates all set, and tickets would be going on sale very soon.

As for TWO STRANGERS, so glad to hear such great things about it so far. I might have to run to this one in case it closes early."

DOLLY had a Broadway theater lined up, too. Then it bombed out of town. PURPLE RAIN seems to be on the same path.

Just out of the show. It’s sweet and both leads are very good (especially him), but I didn’t love the music. It’s funny because the music seemed to be everyone’s criticism of MHE, but I enjoyed that music much more than this. Overall, funny and sweet with some solid performances. That’s kind of it for me.

The set and stagingare so, soclever; it looks simple but has endless ingenuity.Sightline-wise, I can't imagine there's a bad seat in the house as the design pushes everything front and center. In London, I felt like the show's balance was tipped too heavily towards Sam Tutty's character, but whether it's Christiani Pitts' performance or the updates, that's not such a problem anymore. They are both superb. I'd be surprised if both don't get nominated and he's got a shot at winning. The music doesn't break any boundaries, but it's fullofstrong numbers.

If you can't tell, I really, really liked this. This won't be my last visit, for a jolt ofjoy this is hard to beat."

^In response to above spoiler."

That spoiler is literally the dramatic core of the show? It explains everything about the lead the female journey does on.

I’m not sure how her character exists without it?

Well that's why im bringing it up because there seems to have been a change.

I texted my friends who I went with and it was news to them too lolol. Well, can't wait to go back and look for the clues more closely

I was there Sunday night, and she clearly says that she did what you’re referencing. No clues. It was plainly spoken.

it was answered on the first page

Thanks."

Yes, I can definitely back you up and say, at least at The Kiln, she did definitely sleep with Sam Tutty's father!"

I'm guessing you meant Dougal's father? ;) Did they delve into the story more? When did it start? how did it start? etc.
