first off the set/decor of the stage was absolutely amazing. it really does transform you to being a part of the act. i loved every little detail, the elevators, the spinning door at the hotel, so much more. colorful and vibrant. i sat on the 2nd mezzanine level which was not full at all so my view wasn't distorted. it...

Really funny and smart... especially to our group who had all lived in China, it rang true. An adult place where the words are important and the drama came form real adult concerns -- no excessive physical, sexual or emotional violence... we would highly recommend it.

A group of us "The AZN posse" saw the 8pm show on a Saturday night. Ticket prices range from $126.50 to $31.50. Being budget conscience actors, we were of course, in the Peanut Gallery (balcony). From the opening scene to the very end, I was laughing almost the entire time. A real, heartfelt, big belly laugh. Great show, beautiful, elaborate,... More
