SEAN GONE BRAWN EXECUTON!

Sean Hayes brings the theater up a few notches when he's on stage, which is really for most of this songfest, dancefest, jokefest, audience-fest. His pure talent and timing, and honest voice, are brought to full audience appreciation via his energy and care for other actors---as well as for everyone in the theater. We saw it on May 2nd, matinee. Packed---packed--- house. You can't help but hang onto your seat when that second act opens, and two loners cuddle- play while testing each other out. You will miss some great lines from the audience laughter, but don't worry---the next one is right behind. Kristen Chenoweth is a little wasted here---what a voice, as always. But for a secondary part to the story, she tries hard to keep in check, and does a fantastic job 99% of the time----but that's not what we want from her! Loved the whole cast (junior exec dancers, secretary dancers, everyone a singer and zinger) and the whole city. Highly recommended!

HILARIOUS SHOW

Saw this show on its 3/27 preview night with my teenaged daughter. We both loved it. It takes a lot to amuse me and I was laughing out loud a lot! There are not any big power songs or huge moments, but it is still a very memorable, highly entertaining show. I liked its narration style and the way the actors interacted with the audience in very subtle ways. It was a really unique and fun Broadway experience for us both! I highly recommend this show!

ENTERTAINING & ENJOYABLE

attended the 4-17-10 matinee with my 25 yr old daughter...we both found it very enjoyable and had more than our share of laughs. "Jack" as previous reviews have stated, came through in Sean Hayes's performance but that made his characater all the more endearing...it did seem as though he was a bit nervous which was evident in some of his songs. All in all the show was highly entertaining. Katie Finneran was the show stealer for sure..too bad she didn't have more stage time. Kristin Chenoweth was not a disappointment, it was a real treat to see her perform. Didn't know Tony Goldwyn could sing...I would absolutely recommend this show however, not for children under the age of 14 due to the subject matter...

THUMBS UP

Good, fun show with fantastic performances from the two leads; Sean and Kristin fans won't be disappointed. Katie Finnerman also shone, and the choreography is impressive. Altogether a very heartwarming show!

DISAPPOINTMENT

We were organised and purchased our tickets from Australia in early September and indicated that we would call and collect our tickets. On Tuesday 23rd November we arrived at the theatre 30 minutes prior to the commencement of the show only to find a huge line of theatregoers waiting at the ticket collection centre. The show commencement came and went and we were still standing in line waiting to collect our tickets. What amazed us was the the theatre management did nothing to try and resolve the situation. Utter disappointment

OLD FASHION FUN

The show is a delight but a far cry from the elaborate sets Broadway theater has become. This is a simple old fashion play that has strong acting and great singing. Sean Hayes was 'Jack' at times, but that seemed to help the momentum of the play. Chenoweth was wonderful and would have liked her to have more stage time. Enjoy the show for what it is...simple fun and giggles.
