| Aaron Tveit, Norbert Leo Butz & Tome Wopat, Kerry Butler |
The performances were nothing short of amazing. Aaron Tveit can carry a whole damn show with ease. Norbert Leo Butz was perfect in the role as rumpled FBI guy. He made it his. Kerry Butler has a small role -but then a helluva song that was great. And Tom Wopat - well if you have seen him you know he has a voice - if you haven't you probably wouldn't believe it.

The problem with the show, is it is based on a true story that is unbelievable. They have toned it down and it still defies belief. And, since it was a big movie, there are plot points you expect to hit. So that is why it is a little long.
.
But I didn't mind. The sets were mind-blowingly 60's chic (Promises / Promises type but ramped way way up). Since it is a much smaller theater than Promises - they actor connect with the audience in a way that Promises and most other shows can't.

It is nit-picky to call out problems in a show that give you goosebumps repeatedly - and since I am not reviewing this for my site - I don't have to call out problems. LOVED IT.
