completely agree Ann. While I didn't see this on Broadway I did see it a few years back at the George St in NJ, with most of the same leads, and thought it a fun show. Like you said, it is a show that, while it was somewhat predictable, did have the nice twist which made it not be as predictable as first thought.

Not sure if anything has been changed since the NJ run, but I had a lot of fun so I'm glad you did as well

I'm sorry , but even at a discount , two tickets cost $190.00, and for that price , a little piece of forgettable fluff better come with dinner and drinks. There is a lot more fun to be had watching a Fraiser TV marathon with a bowl of Ben and Jerry's than there is in this 90 minute show , and it's a lot cheaper.

I couldn't agree more, JayBee!

ISBY may be a little piece of forgettable fluff to people who see almost every show every season -- and it's certainly a master class in how expert performers put over very mediocre material -- but it's extremely depressing to think it represents Broadway to people who see only one or two shows every couple of years.

I had fun, too, and liked the cast but most of the score was forgettable.
