I just found out that the Broadway production is touring and that it begins in San Francisco at the end of August. What a freakin' amazing homecoming! I was lucky enough to see this production in New York last year and it was one of those rare evenings of brilliant theatricality.
Those who know me or have read my posts about theatre probably know that I can be a harsh critic. I can get lost in my frustration of opportunity lost or potential unrealized. But this production was stunning. There were many simple choices that had lasting effects on me. Again, it was full of deliciously theatrical moments but didn't get lost in self-reflexivity to the point that it became camp.
I'm certain the cast will be different but this production concept is strong and the directing in the original production leads me to have great confidence in the director. If you want to book tickets, here's the link.
