    Having seen the movie before and vaguely remembering the plot, I went to see this out of curiosity and with an expectation to simply be entertained by "light comedic faire." At the end, I was surprised to see how engaged I was in the performance by the cast and how much I really enjoyed it! They were very charming, amusing, hilarious, and highly entertaining! The songs were clever and catchy. There was a lot of heart not only in the characters' performance but also in the story. The sets and costumes were fabulous (be prepared for a lot of pink!). The music by the orchestra was superb. All in all, a wonderful and solid performance that will keep you laughing and smiling after you've left the show. Collapse

    I saw this show Opening Night, and it was funny, charming and fast-paced. There's a lot of talent in this production, and the audience seemed to really enjoy the show.

    I had seen much of this production over the years on PBS but was unprepared at how awesome this would be live. Such talent, beauty, and humor! See this!!! It was far lighter on the "cheese" that i was expecting and certainly felt timeless and not "dated" as I expected. What a treat! Go! Collapse

    I had no real expectations for this show but was impressed from the beginning. Such a unique show. GREAT music, AMAZING bad, the most nuanced and complex set I've seen in ages, and the talent was tremendous. My only wish is that the audience was younger and more physically into it. How can you not move to this music. I'd encourage EVERY parent to take their middle school and high school children to see this. Such an important, poetic, and inexplicably apt perspective. There is so much depth to this show. GO! Collapse

    Fan of Monty Python or not this production is silly and professional. Opening night was virtually sold out and the entire audience was loving it. Though the show started probably 20 minutes late due to the huge numbers of people attending (what a great way to start off the Broadway San Jose season)it was certainly worth every minute. The cast was phenomenal, the ses and technical aspects really pleasing and for the first time in a VERY long time I saw that space used to perfection! Great orchestra, great laughs, I was surprised at how entertained I was. Collapse
