Saw opening night and it was outstanding. This is a test as I typed up a long review the other day and there was an error when I posted it.

Lost another long review due to another error. Frustrating!

Edit: Ok, I'll try to mention a few things. Hope it works this time.

Summit, who plays Billy, is playing the role with a broken arm...compound fracture according to a former teacher of his who was sitting next to me, but it didn't affect his performance at all. I would have never known it other than the thin, flesh colored cast on his arm. She also told me that Summit and the kid who plays Michael are good friends in real life. Their chemistry is superb.

The entire cast, set and production is totally professional, much better than I expected it to be. They spared no expense.

I'm really looking forward to three more shows.

A bit coming up tomorrow about what Billy does on his day off:
