I went to see The Lovely Bones a few days ago. Wow. This performance was wonderful! I mean, it started terrifying. They don't tell you the play is about to start, the just jump in with blinding light and music. So, if you're going to see and you have a problem with being startled, be aware. But the strong entrance shouldn't detract from this incredible performance. There were times I thought the entire theater was holding their breathe. They did an absolutely amazing job! I would recommend anyone see this play if you've even given it a passing thought.
The theater itself is fairly large. Really well kept and traditional in interior. Outside of the theater, there are a number of places you can obtain snacks or drinks (alcoholic or not). The restrooms are separated by a bit of a distance, the womens by the ticket collection, the mens by the far end.
Ticket collection was fast and efficient! Nice to not have to wait in a cue for 20 minutes.
I will definitely be seeing another performance here soon.
