I don't think so. Although my opinion may not be telling because I read the novel before seeing the show. But yeah, I can't imagine you'd have a problem following it.

nope, just hard to watch. Virtual reality ALW = headache and eye sores.

If you pay attention, you'll be able to follow the show.

If you pay attention, you'll be on the edge of your seat. It's a fun ride.

If you're not familiar with the show, I think it can be a little tricky. Just make sure to pay careful attention.

yes- go see it and ENJOY it! Don't worry about the story, it's intricate but it all falls into place, and it's fantastic.

The Woman in White shouldn't be too hard to follow but you truly will be on the edge of your seat for about the whole show! I really enjoyed the show... I guess you should just know
***POSSIBLE SPOILER???***(but not really)
that Anne and Laura are two different people and that Anne is not a ghost
***END SPOILER***

Why are we giving away plot lines Kevo!?

I said it was a possible spoiler lol. But someone I saw the show with didn't realize the things i posted before.

Really Kevo!? That's dissapointing.
Finally a show comes along that challenges us mentally and we still have to break down plots ahead of time and afterwards for people... oh well.

Lol, she didn't enjoy the show too much, so i don't think she was paying attention too much. But I loved the show and I know you did too! The cast was super friendly at the stagedoor too!

o Kevo- how could you tell that I loved the show!? Am I THAT transparent!?

Not hard, just predictable.

It is fairly easy to follow (btw, the show is sung-through) - it is quite compelling and will have you at your seat's edge following the plot. I think the sets are also effective in moving the story along fast and the detailed backdrops enhance the story's atmosphere.

The cast are excellent in their singing and acting roles. And I do love the accents - Maria and Michael's, in particular

It's not hard to follow the plot...
Overall, an enjoyable experience

And I heard that Daniel Marcus was great as Fosco.

I have heard that some people did find the story difficult to follow. The mother of someone I know went to see it recently with friends -- she had read the book first, so she had no problem following the story. Her friends, however did have some trouble. I have also seen comments on other message boards where people complained they were confused about what was going on.

I had not read the book before I saw the show for the first time, and I had no problem following the story. Maybe it's because I have read other books in the genre.

I, too, like the projections. I find the backgrounds, especially in the outdoor scenes, make it a bit more realistic. I also agree with Jo that the cast is really excellent.

BTW, I took my 16 year old niece to see the show in early December. She swore to me that the woman in white was a ghost. I refused to tell her one way or another... all was revealed eventually..

I went last night.
Ball was out.
The set projections were very interesting. I have never seen anything like it. It took my breath away!

Not hard to follow at all, I didnt think. Pretty darn interesting concept. Can't say I was madly in love with some of the directorial and book choices, but the score and performances are awsome and will be remembered at Tony time.

Although, I do belive that COLOR PURPLE as a stage musical is as good as it gets so far this season. Brilliantly breathatking piece of art, with a fantastic score, solid book, and performances to end all performances. The ladies in CP are brilliant.

But so are Michael Ball, Maria Friedman, and the ever so slightly used Angela Christian (as well as Friedmans sisters name in the show, which I am forgeting right now) in WIW!

Now SWEENY TODD is also a FANTASTIC revival of what has become a classic and Patti Lupone & Michael Cerveris hit it out of the BALL PARK, and I believe both deserve Tony awards. (Does anyone else think that Cerveris is far supperior to John Lloyd Young in Jersey Boys? *A show I was NOT all that fond of*)

The sister of Maria Friedman's character is played by the lovely and talented Jill Paice.
