    My friend and I really enjoyed Porgy and and Bess during Broadway Week. The music was great and Audra McDonald's performance was brilliant.

    Porgy and Bess-a phenomenon!

    by calart128 on 10/2/12Richard Rodgers Theatre - New York

    My expectations for this play were superceded, in two totally different performances. In June, Audra McDonald was ill, and her understudy carried through well. In September, I was able to join two friends, with better seats...and Audra back on stage. Norm Lewis and David Alan Grier, among others, were missing....BUT seeing Audra perform was electrifying! She gave a magnificent power to the role of Bess that made the show the best I've seen on Broadway!

    Captivating

    by Lew3 on 9/27/12Richard Rodgers Theatre - New York

    My wife and I really enjoyed this play, from start to finish it kept our interest, the singing and choreography was very good. There were some instances where we could not understand the singing, all in all we thought it was a great show.

    The best show I have ever seen!!!

    by marciedp on 9/26/12Richard Rodgers Theatre - New York

    The shows music and singing were unforgettable. Each song was better than the next. I don't know if there will ever be another that will top it. We were speechless when we left the theater.

    Ensemble cast phenomenal!!

    by genie46 on 9/26/12Richard Rodgers Theatre - New York

    The acting was so good and the musical numbers were excellent. Audra McDonald did not disappoint she has a beautiful voice. Norm Lewis was superb as Porky in voice and his acting ability. David Alan Grier was the villain you love to hate as Sporting Life. the whole cast was great.

    Seats were terrible

    by KCSAD on 9/26/12Richard Rodgers Theatre - New York

    I could not enjoy the performance because there was not enough room between the rows for my legs. That caused pain in my knees which meant I had to leave at intermission.
