Havent seen a thread on this yet, previews for Becoming Nancy at the Alliance Theatre began tonight. Did anyone go? Post reviews here! Very anxious and excited to hear about this one!
I am going next weekend. Absolutely loved the book, a really touching story, and I'm a big fan of Stiles & Drewe so very excited. The initial feedback on twitter is very positive!
Oh I went to this play last night and managed to scam a 5th row center ticket! :)
My reaction is mixed. A couple of years ago, I walked out of the Atlanta performance of The Prom and thought, "now that show is going to win every Tony in the book once it opens on Broadway" and I was sort of right. This one was harder to judge. On the good side, very charming leads (particularly calling out Zachary Sayle and Stephen Ashfield), a few terrific songs (including one called Waiting for the Night Bus), strong choreography. But it also had themes that are done frequently in theater but they weren't uniquely portrayed this time around. It didn't feel fresh enough to me. But it was only night 3....I plan to go back next week to see how it evolves.
