Block, and directed and choreographed by Tony winner Christopher Wheeldon.
See it if you enjoy classic musicals. The lovely songs are well presented w/ Lekites and O'Hara as standouts. Barebones set ok; orchestra on stage.
Don't see it if you like a full-blown prod'n. Emphasis on dancing (I got bored). The lyrics are silly, but the tunes glorious. Lekites: I will come to you.
Also I'm glad I got to see this charming production. Lush sound...I'm trapp... Read more Read less

Also This is a great production of a rarely revived musical staged by a dir... Read more Read less
See it if cast excellent, Kelli's heavenly singing/performance will be long-remembered; meltingly beautiful songs; dynamic new choreography
Don't see it if second act slight, ending implausible; still per NY Times, production elevates this rarely-performed musical into first ranks

Don't see it if You don’t like musicals
See it if like Lerner/Loewe, PatrickWilson, Kelli Ohara, StephanieBlock, huge dancing chorus, gray palette in your traditional American musicals

See it if Loved it! It was glorious. Beautifully done. Fantastic cast. A full orchestra. So perfect and beautifully done. Moved me to tears.
Don't see it if There were only 6 performances, and it has closed. If you weren’t there, I’m sorry, but you missed something very special.

See it if to hear Kelli O'Hara sing "Almost Like Being in Love' (actually, to hear her sing anything), incredible singing and a wonderful orchestra
Don't see it if plot is important, especially if you would be tempted to analyze the issues with this tale; if you are not at all a romantic
Also I am probably an outlier. There was a standing ovation.... Read more Read less
See it if you have the opportunity, Kelli Ohara is as enchanting as ever; such a treat to hear Wilson; Block sounds great & provides needed humor

Also Brigadoon may not be groundbreaking, with complex philosophies of some... Read more Read less

See it if You want to be swept away by enchantment in this staged version of the classic play. Singing & dancing are flawless, achingly beautiful
Don't see it if I've always loved this play, but the plot is simple, a bit strange & hokey - it's all about the songs, dancing & the magical, lyrical mood.
See it if you are looking to being transported by a story told through the music of Lerner and Loewe and the choreography of Christopher Wheeldon.
Don't see it if classical musical theater meets modernization is not your thing.
