I just saw this tonight and I enjoyed it. It definitely felt a little like an operatic vaudeville. The imagery of the show was a serious highlight. The music and singing was also outstanding. There was a solid two maybe three minute ovation after a rendition of sometimes I feel like a motherless child for example. From the front row it was noticeable that even members of the pit were surprised by the reaction. There definitely weren't any week links in the cast and the show was at its best when everyone was singing together. The cast seems to be having a great time with the show as well.

I purchased a $25 ticket to the 9/22 performance.  Flights from DC to Boston aren't too bad.  Those of you familiar with this venue, how is it getting there from Boston proper?  Thanks.

It is walking distance from the Harvard stop on the red line. If coming from the airport you want to take the silver line to south station then transfer to the redline (towards alewife) to Harvard Station.
