Yes

If you saw the documentary of Grey Gardens then saw the Broadway show of it ,you would have been as blown away as I was.. The shows actors who played the Mother and daughter pair felt like they were ripped from the very film itself. The sets where what I remembered braodway to be, colorful and always changing. The music was great and lighting moving and I know lighting I am a photographer. I will see it again I have told all my friends about it, we all saw the documentary and loved the characters.

Would you recommend?

I'm sure glad I didn't pay full price for tickets to this. The music was awful, the sets looked like they were painted by elementary school students, and the lighting design was amateurish. I've totally lost my faith in the Tony's with the number of nominations this show received. I just don't get it!

New York Critic's Theater picks

Finian’s Rainbow
This marvelous, slightly unhinged revival succeeds because it refuses to wink at the material or treat it as quaint.
The Understudy
Theresa Rebeck’s warm backstage comedy features a thoroughly excellent trio, but the heart of the show is Julie White’s performance.
