A2016

See it if you want the best score in the Western world, an amazing set, an epic love story set to the mesmerizing music of Anais Mitchell in Nawlins.

Don't see it if No reason not to see it. See it!

Also I saw this at NYTW as part of my season ticket package with no knowledge of who Anais Mitchell was - I went back three times then and will see it again on Broadway. The show has transferred well from in the round staging to a larger house with proscenium with an awe-inspiring stage set by Rachel Chavkin. It's organic, non-commercial, with great acting, staging and score. You will not get the song Flowers or Epic out of your head after first listen.... Read more Read less
