  I have long loved the music to Candide, but never saw a production before last Saturday (10/8). This was a wonderful production! We loved the low-tech simplicity of the sets. The performances were overall very good with special shout outs for Candide, Cunegonde and The Old Woman. Although I have no basis for comparison with any of the previous incarnations of Candide, the story as adapted by Mary Zimmerman is really enjoyable. There were occasions when the various people narrating could not be understood and I longed for more orchestra for the finale. Otherwise, it's a great production - great way to spend your entertainment dollars! Collapse

  It was certainly far from "phenomenal" as advertised. Sitting at the balcony, which at 1/2 price is already $50.00 ($100.00 for THOSE , SEATS, 3 rows from the back???, no way), one cannot hear most of the dialogue. At the very least, for wordy plays and music like this, supertitles are a MUST!!! I am a Bernstein fan but my husband and I left the theater very annoyed at half time. It was hopeless. Too bad, because the company was clearly very good. Collapse
