Has anyone sat in the side orchestra seats marked partial/ limited view? Does the proscenium cut off a lot of side action or is everything pretty centered?
The importance rant thing to note is that many of these so called "first" revivals were straight up copies of the original; the same designs, the same blocking, and often the same actors.

"I assume you're a fan of the cookie cutter musical."
Three cheers for cookie-cutter musicals like My Fair Lady, The Sound of Music and Hello, Dolly! In fact, three thousand and thirty-three cheers for those! What a difference from this miserable exercise!
"I feel bad for people who can't appreciate shows that's challenge the status quo."
I was ALSO there tonight, and loved the show. No, love isn't quite strong enough. This was easily my favorite night of theatre I've had this season, and quite possibly the last couple seasons. Yes, the show is not perfect BUT ITS SO FUCKING CLOSE TO BEING A MASTERPIECE you cannot help but love it despite/ because of its flaws.
