<< Lots of $0 tickets on line...thus "the energy".

Have to very respectfully disagree with this--- have seen the show 10X so far, and the energy has been amazing each time---

Definitely not from "papering" !

And by the way -- for those who were at last nights performance -- did you all notice the young girl in the back row of the onstage seating area who dropped something (a pencil?) during one of the scenes. I was more preoccupied with making sure someone picked it up (she was too) than the scene that was playing. Fortunatley Curtis Holbrook grabbed it on an exit.

I was there sunday night and everyone around me was raving and laughing throughout...so much that it was hard to hear the next lines of dialogue. we had a blast and really thought the show has done miraculously all along the previews. (this was my third time)...and the show has improved...and is so amazing now.
can't wait for opening night!

No.. I'm not an investor. A little cynical of you though to ask or imply, no? Just offering my observations of behavior at the theater when I attended.

I hope the audiences don't get like the Evil Dead audiences. I thought they were abominable. Then again, there was alcohol involved for that show.

A friend and I were at the show as well and Craig is absolutely right - the crowd was enormously entertained.

She grew up tall - she grew up right.

So with the sold out crowds---how come it is on the bottom of the weekly gross list? I know it's new, but if people are saying it is sold out here and there, why does it seem to be doing bad at the Box Office...I so want a recording and for this show to have a good life...

I was at the same performance and had the same thoughts. It was so great to hear such enthusastic responses from such an eclectic audience. This is a show for everyone and I loved it more this second time that I saw it.

Cheyenne is wonderful as Sonny!! I can't decide who I like more...it's two different takes on the role (and two different vocal ranges).

"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

Not to mention also that the Hayes is not a huge house.

"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." Conan O'Brien
