This is one of the few Andrew Lloyd Webber shows I had yet to see, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was a little lost at first, once I locked into the story, it hit hard. What a powerful performance. The actors and actresses were amazing. I may see it again with my family now that I'm more in tune with the stage play.
