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..
