Don't see it if There's no good reason NOT to see the exhibit if you love theater. The event was a great way to meet the folks behind the show-score curtain

Also Minor suggestion. Rather than asking people to note the (high end) shows they still haven't seen, ask them to note the show they saw with shows-score that they liked the most. I enjoy all the off and off off Broadway shows I never would have seen without show score and it would have been fun to talk about them.... Read more Read less
