I found the sound during this performance was terrible. I could not understand a single word. A number of people who also were in attendance agreed that they had difficulty with the sound.
Hopefully, this can be corrected before the performance of Cats.

The music was excellent, but unfortunately I couldn’t hear the actors when they were speaking.

It was a lovely performance, beautifully staged, but we (in prime seats, front and center mezzanine) could not understand the spoken words. At intermission time we made friends with those around us because all were lamenting the problem. The sound system is just not adequate for plays. Luckily we knew all the lyrics by memory so we did enjoy it!

We thoroughly enjoyed the performance of the actors. The staging was not that impressive but that is understandable considering the one night stands of the show. All voices were most enjoyable to listen to. The only problem, in my opinion, was that Ms Armstrong’s beautiful voice in the high register came across in a harsh manner. Again, we thoroughly enjoyed the show and, lets face it,everyone loves the music.

We had seen this play before in Houston. This performance did not come close to equaling the one we saw many years ago. The music in this show is very powerful and, to me, carries the story. The canned music as opposed to live music really brought the performance down. The sets were sort of amaturish as well. The voices and the costumes were good, however.

We enjoyed the production and loved the lead singers voices, especially Lancelot! The costumes were quite well done and the scenes very nice. The only thing, we missed some of the jokes and thought it might be our hearing. Thank you
