They only had to stop the show once tonight, for less than five minutes. Spiderman was dangling
The set was absolutely amazing. I can see why it was so expensive. And all the flying was really well done. They were zooming all over the threatre, pretty fast too. There was an airborne fight scene which was awesome.
Most of the songs were unmistakeably U2-ey. There were several songs besides BFFTS who's lyrics were soooo quintessential Bono
They played Vertigo at the beginning of one scene and I wasn't the only one I could hear singing along
There were a few other references thrown in too, which was cute.
I think this thing is really going to take off. Compared to what I read of the first night, they seem to really be getting it under control, and the theatre was completely full at least in the section where I was.
I'm glad I got to see it...a perk of living in New York
