Did anyone else go to the Civic Center to see this amazing Tony Award winning musical? It is one of the most fascinating, unusual, and non-traditional musicals I've ever seen. When you go in theater the stage, with a bar in the set.,is open to the audience and the audience is invited to go on the stage to purchase things at the bar. About 15 minutes prior to the time the play is supposed to start a lot of the cast comes on the stage while the audience is still there and start to play various instruments and sing Irish songs. That gradually transitions into the start of the play as the audience leaves the stage. There isn't an orchestra, just cast members playing their instruments. It is a surprisingly amusing and moving play.
