Let me begin by saying I have never seen or read anything
about the play Baal that Clive was based off of. I went to the show with little expectations
other than the fact that I love Ethan and Vincent and that there was no way I
would miss the two of them on stage together.
Entering the Acorn Theatre I quickly realized that three people I were
with and I were the youngest people there by ten years at the least. That being said we all loved it. I noticed that the majority of the time that
we were laughing and enjoying the “new school” music references and jokes, that
we were generally the only people in the theatre laughing. After reading several reviews of people
saying how disappointed they were after seeing this play, I decided to write
this review to show my support for the show.
Maybe it was the little that I knew about the original play, or the fact
that we were much younger than everyone else there, but I absolutely loved it
and could not stop laughing the entire time.
I found some of the characters confusing at first because of the small
cast playing different characters; however I was quickly able to follow and
understand what was going on. I plan on
seeing Clive again in the last week that it is open and am anxious to see how
much it changes since the preview show that I attended. The talk back that the cast did after the
show was also a great way to ask questions and hear more about how the show
came to be. On an additional note,
meeting Vincent, Ethan and the rest of the cast after the show was great and
they were nothing short of amazing on and off the stage.
THANK YOU, JARED!
