B

A perfectly well-adapted stage version of the book with some excellent production value.

 

Hoo-rah!

  • Clean and efficient telling of the same story as the book.
  • Really clever ways of helping the audience get inside Christopher’s head, from walking on walls to giant flashing text to lit paths on the ground.
  • Well-used music
  • Solid acting.

 

Blech…

  • The book brought a tear to my eye more than once. For some reason the show didn’t.
  • Everything was well-done, but nothing blew me away. Guess I was overhyped.
