WARNING: POTENTIAL SPOILERS TO THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN THE PLAY!!
First off, I liked the theater that this play was performed at. The seats within the theater are so close to the stage in comparison with a lot of other theaters that I've been at and it helped me feel more involved in the action of the play. The actors did a pretty good job with the comedy throughout, and though some jokes were a bit off color (no pun intended), I still thought the delivery was done in a good enough style to not push it too far. I also liked the use of the physicality with the actors as well. They all looked like they fit the part, from the shop owner with the ponytail and the all white hair to the Russian kid that was extremely reminiscent of Drago (Dolph Lundgren from Rocky IV). There was also a lot of emotion to be played out throughout the peformances and I was shocked when the lead actor was actually able to cry at the end of it. Very powerful story delivered in an archetypal but non-cliche way.
