Great play! Atmosphere phenominal. Seat location great, but hard wooden seats and rented cushions for 2nd half a big win. Actors entering stage through crowds a lot of fun!

Despite the steady rain, we were very comfortable in our covered bench seats. The sparkly cast and lively performances made the evening a very memorable one.

The perfomers were on point! The production was great. The major drawback was the heat. It was so so hot a woman in the audience fainted. I know it is a historical venue but maybe if there were fans of somekind to move the air around in the bleachers a bit. Quiet ones so as not to take away from the performace.
