I'm not sure if I'm just reviewing the physical theatre or everything about the experience, but it was all 5-stars across the board. The actors were excellent, the production quality was very high and the theatre was nice, new and comfortable. I guess the only gripe is that getting out of the parking garage was not efficient at all with the extremely slow machines, but everything other than that was great. We found it funny that no one even ever scanned our tickets - this was purely on the honor system, which seems like a really weird choice. I hope this place is definitely making the money needed to pay these actors for doing such a great job!

Unfortunately, the food and drinks didn't match the experience. Everything felt overpriced for the quality.

That said, I still had a great time overall thanks to the entertainment. If you're going for the laughs, it's worth it--just don't go for the food.

I've been enjoying going to opening preview night of each of these shows, there's something really different about seeing the first live performance for each production. Seeing the directors and producers all watching their hard work come to life, the roaring standing ovation. It's a great place to be at!

It was authentic, and showed a black woman's plight of becoming one of the best dancers in the US, her perilious journey through addiction, and her life now. It was centered and focused on her voice, and it was beautiful story that should be heard by many Americans, not just the black community. Bravo Lauren Anderson!
