Serisouly it may very well be my favorite theatrical experience ever. Emcee and I can vouch for eachother when it comes to crying. We were in tears afterwards for a good while.

This is definitely the type of show that can lead to a delayed reaction. I really enjoyed it last night, but I think I'm appreciating things more today. It takes a while to settle in, but once it does, you're like, "WOW. That was genius."
Well that's the thing. Emotionally I responded then and there, but artistically, I didn't (and still don't) fully grasp the beauty of the staging. And I remember these really specific moments, so all day my Raúl appreciation has been increasing.

Yeah...that was amusing. I didn't even really start crying until right after it ended. I was so captivated by it and I was so thrilled by Being Alive and when it all ended I just sort of fell apart. I was gushing to anyone who would listen all day.

I am SO happy that Marry Me a Little is in. It is a perfect song. Gah, I am so in love with this production.

I'm really glad it's in, too. It adds so much. I can't decide if I like Raul's performance of Marry Me a Little better than Being Alive.... it's too hard a choice! His voice is in top form.

I've officially decided that "Ladies Who Lunch" was written about the mothers of girls at my school. It just makes sense.

I have a question concerning the seating. One of our fellow posters made the comment that sitting on the side you will not be able to get the full effect. I have seats 2 and 4 row A, will I still be able to see everything in its full entirety? Thanks for any help.
Yeah, there's really not much to block your view. It'll be different then if you were higher, or closer to the center, or farther away, but you'll be able to see everything well.
