Also Gallery Players is a off off Broadway venue which holds around 100 seats. Must of there shows do not use any amplification. This show does so they need to work out some of the kinks in the sound. The staging and use of projections and chalkboards were Great. The singing as always Top notch.... Read more Read less

Also Slimmed down cast from original version. This is a cast of 6 original was around 20? [It works]
This version has no intermission [I would have liked an intermission
I recognized a lot of the musical numbers; did not now they came from this show ie “Old Friends” & “Not a day goes by” which are Nightclub/Cabaret standards today

As with the original it takes place in reverse chronological.
For a real change-up maybe they could have done it in chronological order [probably would not be able to get the rights to do it that way LOL
Note*
“The Alvin ” is the theater where the show was originally on Broadway
Kudos to the department that produces the Upstage Guide for the show, it is also in reverse chronological order.
IT starts at page 21 and goes backwards to page one... Read more Read less
