BATMAN LIVE

[Tsimanga]

 

Has anyone seen this production? It's coming to the bay area and I'm surely interested, especially if someone has seen it and approves.

Haven't seen it but I've read, and seen some reviews, I'd go if I could

Saw it in London when it first came out.

 

Enjoyed it.

Better let your wifey know about this. Sounds like you could use this to fulfill your wifeys' "you have to go to a production/opera with me this year" request. I know I would try to .

Just saw it in Anaheim. I thought it was a let-down. At $120/per ticket I was expecting...I dunno...real theater, I guess.

 

I thought the acrobatics/wires/fighting were all fairly dull. If you've been to a middling circus or a Vegas-esque show in Reno, then you've seen it already. The enormous video screen was simultaneously gorgeous and somehow distracting. And the dialogue all came across like something akin to a video game cut-scene--just filler before they roll out the next dazzling set piece.

 

Not horrible, but not great either. Lower your expectations, bring the kids, throw down a few beers and it'll probably be better.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and the Honda Center was configured to about 60% capacity (not even counting the upper level which wasn't sold) and was less than half full. Huge sections of empty seats. That sucked a lot of the energy out of the show.

You mean you were in Anaheim and didn't come over? I had beer.
