This was my first time going to A.R.T., but the theater didn't feel that intimate to me. It may be only 500 seats, but it's a quite tall, wide, and deep space (both on stage and in the audience), and the largeness fits with the scale of the music and the storytelling.
I do agree that the show has room to find more subtlety, and I wonder if they will keep working on the first 10 minutes (which felt like a first draft in a show that otherwise felt finished), but overall I found that they nailed a wide variety of emotional moments and experiences. |
