      We were visiting Boston, and decided to get 1/2 price tickets after seeing the video clip online. I am glad we did not pay full price. We were disappointed that the show was not more like the video clip, although second half of the show was better than the first. Several of the acts were too long and got monotonous, like the juggling and trapeze, as well as the music. We thought the best acts were the couple doing the their routine on the pole, and the male acrobat being launched off the board. Collapse

      "Great Acrobats along with storytelling"
      Review posted by: Naomi from Boston, Jul 27, 2011
      

      My favorite part was when they dropped or slid down a pole twenty feet, especially when they did it in Tandem. It was part of a story about sleeping and it took place inside a house.

      I've always been skeptical of Cirque du Soleil type presentations because I don't usually appreciate the themes, story lines, and vignettes that accompany what I really like... the "tricks," or acts. But PSY was able to include the theme of the mental illness / psychiatry to lend the acts a bit of background without distracting from them. The first act set up the theme of "psy," which each acrobat having their own mental disorder for which they needed therapy. But it was the second act that blew me away in terms of the performance, especially the use of the German Wheel, which I had never seen before (youtube it). The lead hand-balancer was incredible, too, and the mask costumes reminded me of my favorite scenes from the Hiyao Miyazaki animated film, "Spirited Away." All in all, a wonderful performance, especially with a half-price BosTix ticket! :) Strongly recommended. Collapse

      As someone who has seen Cirque du Soleil every time it is in town, I was intrigued by PSY, and it did NOT disappoint. In fact, it's a fresh rendition of the acrobatic performance fueled by imagination. Whereas Cirque structures its performances around childhood wonder, PSY brings a maturity to the role that imagination plays in our lives. The characters are real, relatable people who might actually be yourself or be your friends – who act out both the dark and the charming that our humanity has to offer. And the stunning feats of acrobatics are pretty cool too. Collapse

      Sad to say the Laramie Project: 10 Years Later at ArtsEmerson left me a bit cold. Filled with deeply interesting observations and tid-bits of information on the bending and re-interpreting of the events connected to the murder of MS, in my opinion the production failed to ignite. Flat performances were to blame as the characterizations of those portrayed were undifferentiated. Slipping on a brown jacket or blue sweater and donning this or that hat just doesn't infuse enough into the mix. I believe the director chose this stolid, sincere style which resulted in something less than drama, scarcely more than a reading of the material. Too bad because the observations that revolved around the local soft-pedaling of the hate crime aspect as the years passed was an enormous surprise. Best moments: the portrayals of the interviews with the killers-two serious "banality of evil" moments. There just wasn't enough depth to the performances to fully realize the complexity of the story. Collapse
