The Black Rider was one of the oddest shows I'd ever seen. So many people walked out! My friend and I enjoyed it for what it was... but it was so odd...
The Black Rider remains the only show I've ever walked out of w/o waiting for intermission and we weren't the first. There has only been a handful I've ever left at Intermission. I just learned to turn my tickets back to the box office for a tax deduction when the Ahmanson did Shakespeare with Peter Hall for it seemed like five seasons running (I really don't miss Gordon)
Opening Night did not have any noticeable walkout during the show proper, but LOTS of people left between the main show and the encore and when the curtain came back up, they kept walking.
Personally having seen the show in NYC with BJA, I loved seeing it again and have tickets to go back in two weeks with friends.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

YES! Jonathan Groff at the Taper is highly exciting!

Really? I've liked most of what I've seen at the Taper in the past few years far more than I've liked what I've seen at the Ahmanson. This current season has been somewhat disappointing thus far (didn't particularly care for the Rebeck play and I won't even try with Godot-I hate that show). But, last year their production of "Bengal Tiger" was stellar. So much so that it went to Broadway, sadly without Kevin Tighe. And I don't know if you saw "Lydia" the year before but that was possibly the best production I've ever seen at the Taper.

Was waiting to see who would be the other cast member of Red, looking forward to seeing it .
Does anyone know when the ill season will be announced?

I do agree about the past shows from the Taper sucking. Conversations with my Father was a complete bore, it has reduced John Lithgow into a joke between me and my friends.
Someone.elses.story -- BENGAL was the only show I've seen there since the renovation that I 'kinda liked'. I thought it was 'okay' -- not great.
I saw LYDIA and thought it was a train wreck.
CLYBOURNE PARK? Meh. Fine, but not great.
I think the Taper is ruined for me because I saw THE GOAT there, and it remains the best play I've ever seen. Now I just constantly leave disappointed!
I wish GOOD PEOPLE had been at the Taper, since I loved it.
