Saw this on Thursday night and it was great. Acoustics could be a little better though -- hard to catch some of what they were saying, even with very good seats.

Hello Kevin - glad you enjoyed the performance but sorry you had problems catching some of the dialog. We made some tweaks to the space acoustically and the actors also made adjustments throughout the run. We aim to make all performances as perfect as possible; this was a tricky one acoustically. Thx for the observation - Christina
