Wow, what a piece of theater! 2 greats on 1 stage! Angela Bassett will receive a tony nomination for best female in a lead role for sure! (If she doesn't, I will be SHOCKED!) Samuel L. Jackson was good as well, but he was playing Martin Luther King Jr., no easy feat. It's a limited run, so there isn't much more time to see it.
This theater is GREAT for seeing shows. It's super intimate and small. We sat in row E in the orchestra all the way against the wall. Though it MIGHT be considered partial view (we couldn't see stage left which they rarely stood in) they were GREAT seats! We were literally 20 feet away from the actors. You could see every facial expression. I don't think I'll ever dislike seeing a show in this theater. Previously, we've seen Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson and God of Carnage here. For BBAJ, they really transformed the theater so that it was covered in red christmas lights and even had a horse hanging upside down from the ceiling....Aaron was a little shocked that this was the same theater.
I will say that this was one of my least have theater experiences as of late. Not because of the theater or the performers, but because of the audiences members sitting next to me. They showed up late, talked, texted, and even answered the phone TWICE! My blood was boiling! I missed some important plot points and Aaron had to explain it later.
