Saw this, tonight and I pretty much echo JBroadway's take.

If it makes sense, I enjoyed this more an hour ago, than I do now. .The more I think about it, the more I'm finding wrong with it. That said, it's good. It just could be so much better.

The play is an exploration of fault, conscience and responsibility, which, nowadays, couldn't be more current and in the 1930s had an entirely different context. However, there isn't enough 'meat' on the bones,

There is a clear bond between the two, as they talk often and the older brother says "the best part of my day is talking to you," so, in that sense, you know they get along and are close.

I've not seen the film, so others can best compare, but I didn't feel a heightened intensity

Thanks for taking the time, greenifyme2. I read what you wrote, twice, and most of isn't in the show. It might be in the film, but most of what you wrote is your guess. It's how you filled in the blanks and that's totally okay. Please don't think I'm trying to be difficult or snarky. I'm not. I liked this enough to care about them getting it right. I won't drag this out beyond this. We're not going to agree, but I like reading your thoughts and the thoughts of

JBroadway said: "@wolfwriter - are your questions rhetorical, or are you genuinely asking? I feel like most of them are answerable based on what’s already in the text of the show (not just the film). Though some of your questions (ex. “Why should we care?&rdquo are solely subjective, obviously."

@JBroadway: They're not rhetorical at all. I didn't get answers to any of

JBroadway said: "I completely disagree with those of you who say the show is lacking in depth and character development. It’s true that not all of these characters get huge moments in the spotlight. And if I were just reading the script for this show, I might agree with you.

But I think the combined work of Walsh, Taichman, the songwriters, and the cast, manages to add up to fully realized characters. We may not know every fact about their history and the way they li

Unexpectedly, got to see this tonight, and having never seen the film, I have no basis for comparison.

My reaction is a bit more tempered than some others. I liked it quite a bit, but it's not ready for primetime, by a long shot.

This has a lot of potential, but the book needs a ton of work. The music is great and the cast is uniformly excellent, save one. She, jarringly, can't sing. Everyone else is wonderful.

I also thought that the first act was more of a play

I think you’ll love it.

And, I don’t mean to imply the audience was mean or unpleasant. They just didn’t act as we expect a Broadway audience should.

We were toward the rear of the orchestra on the aisle and I highly recommend an aisle, if you can manage.

I was inadvertently double-booked for tonight and decided to see this and I'm glad I did.

I've been a Talking Heads/David Byrne fan for 40 years, so I may come at this with bias, but he and the rest of the cast sound incredible and this is a wildly entertaining show.

I'm surprised more people are not talking about this, but seeing the audience tonight, might explain it.

This is the worst behaved audience I have ever seen in a Broadway theater. I'm guessing
