elizabear- Still very funny, especially the more musicals you know.
- Serious mic problems; not switched on when they should be, not working consistently, a little feedback. Unfortunately, you lose some of the lyrics because of this.
- As often happens at MIT (and other schools that don't have theater degree programs), the orchestra and the actors were woefully under-rehearsed. The music is often fairly sophisticated, and sometimes the melody escaped the singer or instrumentalist.
- Still, a funny evening that we enjoyed and would recommend to other SW or musicals geeks. Count the cameos in the cantina scene!
HOWEVER: important note for those going on a weeknight like we did - the running time is 3 hours 30 minutes including intermission! We got home just after midnight, and blessed my mom for having gotten Z into his jammies and asleep in his own regular bed spot.
EDIT: also, apparently all waiting list people were seated. This was a Wed, so I don't know how long the wait list was, though.
