What a fun night of theater! We went to TKTS today and got these seats to enjoy ourselves. We loved the movie and hadn't seen it in a long time, and our main concern with the show was that the lead might try too hard to be "Jack Black" instead of "Dewey!"
The most impressive thing about his performance was that he made the character of Dewey his own. I enjoyed watching him reacting with the kids and I saw a change in his character, going from deadbeat to someone that cared deeply for the kids. And the kids! They were so talented. They all sang extremely well, and played their own instruments. That fact alone would be enough for me to send people to see this show. They weren't annoying kids like on a disney channel show.
The show was full of high energy! And the songs were fun to tap your toes to. I even saved some of the songs to my spotify playlist.
We had seats in the orchestra off to the side on house right, and we didn't really miss anything. The theater is extremely wide and shallow, so the sight lines have potential to be bad. I would definitely not buy tickets all the way on the ends. I sat in O32 and would not want to sit closer to the edge.
