I loved this show! My grandmother was in town visiting and this was one of the shows she really wanted to see, so I got us tickets to go. I decided not to risk rolling the dice for an upgrade since I really wanted her to have a good time, and besides, you gotta spend the money for your grandmom! Anyway, I ended up getting the tickets at the box office and it turns out they were having a special for locals--$40 off per ticket in the front sections. The tickets I got were amazing- stage right, 6 rows from the front. Close enough to see everything clearly, but not so close that you have to look straight up to see what was happening.
I had heard good things about the show, but since I didn't grow up listening to this stuff, I wasn't so sure. I was definitely wrong. You really do know these songs! And it wasn't just the music- the story was excellent. The actors really did a great job! I'd actually go see it again in the future, which is saying a lot.
Just go and see the show. You won't be disappointed!
