Gentle is a great description and that's a nice change of pace from big, showy musicals. I'm hoping it picks up some Tonys, too! I'm sure eventually small theaters will do it, maybe Speakeasy or Lyric Stage.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-60812567773258160452012-05-16T23:48:19.048-04:002012-05-16T23:48:19.048-04:00I saw Once on Friday night.

But when it started, Once won me over, and I decided to at least stay until intermission. And then I was having such a great time, I had to see the second act.<br /><br />I would love to see it again if a small Boston theater decides to do it. What a lovely, gentle musical, and how wonderfully well it was done. I will keep my fingers crossed for the Tonys, although the winners, as we well know, are not always the best.Kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-36503923810995627912012-04-27T01:00:04.522-04:002012-04-27T01:00:04.522-04:00Hey Kathy, so glad you're going to see this!

It sounds like just the kind of musical I will enjoy seeing in the middle of Wagner's Ring!Kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-38374890258788885652012-04-26T14:25:32.520-04:002012-04-26T14:25:32.520-04:00Thanks!

But maybe that's because I saw the movie on DVD and it's easy for your mind to wander at home. ;-) But also, the musical has kind of a dream-like quality that was so appealing. Like I said, I really did feel transported.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-83107449586859939112012-04-26T14:16:30.692-04:002012-04-26T14:16:30.692-04:00I love this review.
