Such a good review, critical without being mean, I can't wait till the movie comes out. Wanted to be there (fan for over 40 years) but issues prevented my being able to be a part of it all. No big deal, I've lived along side these stories almost all my life. In 1970 I saw Melanie at a 10,000 seat sold out show in Atlanta where firemen lined the stage trying to prevent the lighting of candles. Melanie said," You guys paid good money to hear me and you are being treated rudely", the firemen then quietly marched out of the venue. It was a long show too (almost 3 hours). Nobody wanted to leave. If I hadn't lived the story, I would be real upset about missing this play. It's great the theater was able to sell out all the shows (well almost) . If there are any left, I would encourage you to please buy one. I'm not real keen on hearing others singing Melanie songs (nobody can sing the way she does but, it's nice that people try. Peace.
