We attended the opening performance of Barefoot in the Park. The theater is small, so there isn't a bad seat in the house. The play was light and funny and very well acted. At one point, the stage lights went out and the house lights came on, but the actors were so polished everyone thought it was part of the performance, until they stopped the play to fix the problem. We were told the whole neighborhood was down, but power was soon restored. I was concerned that the energy of the play wouldn't flow as well after that, but I was wrong. The play picked right back up seamlessly and if anything got even better. I hope to be able to attend another performance there soon.
