I've heard of that production when I visited Japan out of all places. Seems like it has quite a cult following there.

Jersey Boys is currently in town, but I'm not interested. Do have a few shows slotted for this summer though.

Post by: suppadoopa on May 01, 2015, 05:47:08 AM: Hair & Anna in the Afterlife were the last two I saw.
Hair is still Hair and Anna in the Afterlife....well I left, didn't get to finish it cause I didn't like it.

Might go see Jersey Boys since it's apparently coming here soon.
