This is the best show I've seen in a LONG TIME! I LOVED the show! GO SEE IT before it is GONE!!!
Loved the show . Cast was wonderful, especially Audra McDonald and Norm Thomas.
The staging, music, singing and acting were all amazing. If you want to see a classic revival beautifully executed, don't miss it. I loved the sets and the ensemble playing of the cast. Maybe you'll even fall for Porgy, like I did! Go see it before it closes.
Wonderful production. Extraordinary Talent. Gershwin at his best. Glad/lucky to have seen it. .
Great singing, acting, and overall a wonderful experience. It was worth the long 5 hour bus ride from DC to NY. I would do it again!!
I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PLAYS I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS
I truly enjoyed the acting, singing, and dancing. The challenges in life Porgy struggled with reminded me of First Lady Michelle Obama speaking about life growing up with her father.
Porgy and Bess is a timeless classic. The performance and the music were both amazing!
A lot of extreme talent on one stage. Try to see it before it closes next week.
This was one of the greatest shows we've seen on Broadway. I loved Audra McDonald and the entire cast. They really pulled you into the show with their singing and acting. I would highly recommend anyone see this show!
I enjoyed the show immensely! The music was great and the acting was superb, I especially enjoyed Audra McDonald and David Alan Grier. I highly recommend the show.
Saw Porgy and Bess on Saturday night. It was nothing short of wonderful!
Audra McDonald , Norm Lewis, David Allen Grier and the entire cast were phenomenal! A simple yet elegant set, period costumes and voices that were just spectacular. My daughter and I loved every minute of this classic Broadway masterpiece !
Very nice show. I know that they wanted to portray a poor neighborhood, but the scenery was a little lacking. Also, the costumes were a bit too modern - especially the Sunday outing on the boat. One of the ladies wore a satin dress - she should have worn cotton like the others. The story line was well done.
Beautiful show, beautiful music and lyrics. Unfortunately for most of the production, you could not understand the words. I would compare it to an opera. Very moving but you do not know what they are saying.
Acting, music and acoustics were superb. The show was a masterpiece -- never a dull moment, touching on many themes. This show is what Broadway is all about. Everything about the show and performance was top notch. The theatre is charming, but lacked amenities. There were not enough convenient bathrooms. Having to walk down and back up multiple flights of stairs to go to the bathroom was terrible, especially for certain patrons.
Porgy & Bess was amazing! Audra McDonald was phenomenol! She was on point and so was Norm Lewis and David Allen Grier. Real actors like this are hard to find. The entire cast had voices that were out of this world!
The play was very good and the actors performed very well. I would go see the play again.
Well done. Was well worth the trip and price. The cast was spellbinding.
