Just wondering if any one has seen it , a wonderful review in the New York Times.

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. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

It's a great big phantasmagoria of all the troubles in the world, not, in my opinion, one of Mnouchkine's greater works, and very long indeed, but with four or five amazing passages. If you've not seen her work, it's definitely worth becoming familiar with her, but you have to know what you're in for -- a long, crazy, discursive piece, with as much that is unique and amazing as there is that is didactic and disappointing. Still...it's Mnouchkine, and she's one of the few true geniuses of our time.

Is it as much of a spectacle as they say it is?

Not in the sense that something like The Lion King is. It's a very homemade (or seems very homemade) spectacle, but with set pieces that are truly amazing -- especially one involving sheets of newspapers. Nothing mechanical or Broadway-like, but unique and dazzling in a more European way.
