Not only is the show, hysterically funny and extremely entertaining, but it would be worth sitting through just for the shear state of dumbfoundedness that you will find yourself in when you see the amount of huge and elaborate scenery that these people can produce out of 4 seconds of darkness. Not only were there hundreds of flying pieces, but there were tons of tracking wagons and all of it was equipped with flashing lights and van de graaf generators that sent actual bolts of electricity through the air on the stage.
Ok, so now that I got all of my initial excitement out...the show was very well done. The cast, which included names like Roger Bart, Andrea Martin, Sutton Foster, and Megan Mellaney (yes, i got everyone's autographs on my playbill) was brilliant. The only thing that bothered me was Roger bart's yelling thing. If anyone's seen the producer's, you know what I'm talking about. When he gets excited or dramatic he yells in this yelling, comedic voice that is really funny the first time, but I felt like he delivered every other line of YF in that voice!
I also wish that Sutton had a little bit more. She was amazing, but the part is not that huge- she's almost always on stage, but she doesn't have enough to say. she does have one song in the beginning however right after her entrance that was AMAZING. I wont say anything b/c I don't want to ruin it, but she is hysterical!
Anyway, It's late so I dont have time to write down all of the things that I would like to, but GO SEE IT!!!
(p.s. if you don't know what a van de graaf generator is, look below....and then picture them all over the set)
