Greek theater isn't normally my thing - for the most part, the productions of it that I've seen have just been a lot of people yelling. But this powerful, intimate production invites you in rather than shouting at you. There were so many visceral moments that showed us how much this play has to say about the position of women in our own world - and the many ways in which people with any kind of power are driven to use that power to harm someone with less of it. I don't want to spoil anything by t...

WOW. First off, this show is visually stunning. The lighting, the costumes, the masks, the everything--it's all gorgeous.

FANTASTIC! This production was constantly delightful, hilarious, and (most wonderfully of all) surprising--there were so many clever details and small moments that made me see new aspects of a play I've loved for years (plus, the costumes were amazing). The actors were wonderful--they all had such a clear grasp on their characters as well as terrific comic timing. I really want to see this again. ...

Seriously, the voice on this woman. How is any human being this musically talented? The trumpet/accordion player is also fantastic. This show is so much fun and has such delightful music....
