Leap of Faith

I was super excited to see this because the Tony nominees were just released and it got a nom for best new musical. However, after purchasing the tickets, I heard from a lot of friends that they felt it was a waste of a nomination. I found out that it opened on the last day for Tony noms to be valid. (cutting it kind of close I think) When asked by Aaron of how long the show would be I found out that it was already closing. WHAT?! That means it will be a nominee and only have had 24 preview performances and 20 regular performances. Something does sound right there. To me, it DOES sound like a waste of a nomination. It won't win due to the fact that no one can see it as it will be closed.

 We had great seats, row F in the orchestra off to the side. Nothing was partial view. Previous to this show, we saw American Idiot, Gypsy (Patti LuPone) and The Producers (7 times!) I love this theater!

The gospel singers really brought it. They had so much passion and the songs were dynamite. The parts of the show that lagged were the musical theater portions. Raul Esparza was phenomenal! The little boy in the show may very well be the worst actor I've seen in some time!
