TOOTSIE

Play ok but I did expect more… if I hadn’t seen the movie I might have graded it better.. also trying g to keep warm in the theatre took away from play.. I realize it was 30 degrees outside but people were saying inside was equally cold to outside… hopefully fox will get air problem corrected.. no fun paying those prices and sitting in cold for 3 hrs…

GREAT SHOW BUT…

The musical and cast itself was actually pretty awesome. I couldn’t enjoy it to its full capacity though because Centennial Hall had some issues. There was this weird monitor that the first couple of rows could see and it was distracting. And there was a lot of sound issues with crackling microphones and random popping noises. I wanted to enjoy this musical because there was a lot of talent and very funny lines but I was too mad about all the other issues because I kept thinking about how much I paid for my ticket.

A LITTLE DIFFERENT

I guess I wasn't prepared for the script to differ so much from the movie. I couldn't figure out the time period. The apartment sets even seemed to be in a different time from each other! I enjoyed the performances. This was the last show and I saw no sign of fatigue. The costumes?? They were the most confusing. I almost think the actors would have been better off wearing their own clothes for most of the scenes. Proctors is of course a lovely theatre. I wasn't thrilled to see a dog brought to the show. Really?

OVERALL GREAT!

There were moments when hearing was difficult but I have had the same problem with several of this year's productions so I think it is the Theater's problem. This show was FABULOUS!! It was clever, funny, and very entertaining!

GOOD BUT DON'T EXPECT THE MOVIE PLOT

We saw Tootsie last Saturday, if you like Broadway musicals, you will enjoy the show, if you are expecting the plot of the movie, you will be disappointed. That said, we liked it very much. The cast was talented and I was thrilled to see so much diversity in the cast! My husband especially enjoyed the "You f'd it Up" number. Finally a musical song he understands he laughs. It was a great night out for a couple.
