Was lucky enough to catch the penultimate performance of this and was so glad that I did.
While I can see that it wouldn't appeal to everybody I found it brave, beautiful, thrilling and ultimately haunting. A dark glittering jewel of a show. Rivera was magnificent and, although the entrance applause (which stopped the show in its tracks for almost 5 minutes) and general audience hysteria every time she did anything were somewhat at odds with the serious nature of this classy but disturbing production, it still felt incredibly special to be tthere. The rest of the cast were pretty much flawless.
Yes it's a strange piece but exciting original works like this and my beloved Fun Home are what keep the lifeblood of theatre going.
if the rumours are true and this goes to London, I suspect it may go down better there. I would certainly see it again.
