I've always loved this show. I first saw it in 2002 starring Patti Lupone as Dotty, but didn't love her in it. This time around, I'm much older, wiser, and have been around the block a couple of times so all the stage jokes are that much more funny. I took Aaron and we had great seats (thanks hiptix) The cast had Andrea Martin who I know mostly from My Big Fat Greek Wedding (I'll make lamb) but Aaron knows her most from Pippin as the Grandma who sang from a freakin' trapeze. Is there anything that woman can't do?! Also, Megan Hilty was playing Brooke so I was excited to see her acting chops live. There were many understudies tonight though....
As I said, our seats were great. The sight lines were wonderful (in fact we only missed the demi floor bathroom door which barely anything is done there)and we sat in row M of the orchestra all the way to the end house left....It was easy to escape for the bathroom.
My favorite parts are the first act and the second act. The third becomes so stressful for me as an actor. We saw it closing week so unfortunately I can't tell more people about it. Very well done!
