The Last Five Years, 4/5/07

Blue Spruce Theatre, Watertown, MA
Seat: center-of-the-house

All and all, the show was pretty decent. It was their preview performance, so they still haven't worked 100% of the kinks out (there were a few lighting mishaps, a forgotten prop and one botched lyric), but the performers did a fine job with such difficult material.

The black box theater at the Arsenal Center for the Arts holds about 70 seats, so it is uber-intimate. What made it even more intimate was the attendance tonight.... let's just say that the 5-member orchestra outnumbered the audience (and I'm not exaggerating - there were a total of 4 people in the house, plus the director). It was a shame, hopefully as the run progresses, attendance will pick up.

The production runs through April 15, I urge you all to go out and support this all-new theater company, Blue Spruce Theatre!

Hi there, I'm looking forward to seeing L5Y next weekend (I helped Jesse, the director, with publicity). I've been looking for other theatre blogs, so I added you to my blogroll: http://justabroadwaybaby.blogspot.com.
