I saw the original production at Ars Nova , and have seen the Broadway production twice - from the front orchestra, and from a banquette just next to the band on stage. The Ars Nova experience was very different - a very small space , you got a little bit of vodka and black bread. And there was almost no dance, and a small cast. There was no rooM! I've liked teh show very much all 3 times I have seen it - and all 3 have been very different experiences ...

I went into the Broadway production as a last minute substitute for Dear Evan Hansen, which didn't have any seats (this was two months before the Tony Awards). Lucked into a good pair in the Orchestra, far enough back to see everything. I didn't expect to like it very much, but I really loved it--the music, the dancing, the pirogies, the acting, the self-knowing issues around complicated plot and several names for each character. Still haven't seen DEH or Come From Away, but between Comet and Groundhog Day (another substitute which I liked a lot--it was Tony weekend and though I was prepared to pay above ticket price for DEH, Mr. Platt was resting voice), I've had two nice surprises.
