The Gaiety is finikety like that - only about 50% of the seats are worth anything. Matineees all the way. I thought it was great but our seats were perfect.

One field I can't be pretentious in too, when everyone's 10 times worse. :D I think I’ll write a few one act plays, may as well do some drama in college along with everything else.

The dialog seemed really rushed to me in places. And the performances just seemed very unpolished. Maybe that's what you get at preview shows. I loved the set and props though, thought they were perfect.<br /><br />I really think I would have enjoyed the actual performance more if I had a better seat and could see/hear everything better. And maybe didn't know the movie so well. I found it hard to not compare it to the film and it just didn’t come close to it in quality. The dialog seemed really rushed to me in places.
