The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night-Time (Touring) Tickets

The play gave me a visual and audio representation of what it must mean to be autistic. It gave me a better understanding of someone I know.

This play was absolutely incredible, the actors portrayed a strong knowledge of what the characters would feel and how they might act. If you want true immersion in a play, looking further! The set was phenomenal. Walking in, the set appears to be a simple box with a digital feel to it, and the props are mostly boxes, but the crew knew exactly what they could do with it and how to make the most of their minimalistic set.

Great adaptation from book!!! It was difficult to hear the father character at times

Unfortunately the Paramount mezzanine seats are so uncomfortable for the knees and the sound was under par. The play was cleverly staged and well acted. I was distracted by the "rat scenes hoping that it was not a real animal being abused. That part was unnecessary and boring. Overall it was a delight. One of us had to leave at the intermission because of leg cramps from the seating arrangement.

The late seating policy (which I now understand is determined by the producer of the show, not the house) does the performers and the audience a great disservice. First, the show started while members of the audience were visiting in the auditorium. They had not taken their seats when the action began. 15 minutes into The Curious Incident, a large group of latecomers were seated en masse, during a quiet moment of the show. I have seen a lot of theater, and never experienced anything quite so antithetical to traditional theater etiquette. I was dreaming of one of those amazing Broadway ushers who would shut that stuff down. If you are familiar with this show, you know it relies heavily on lights and sound to create a unique world. Ushers' flashlights broke this mood. This negative effect was compounded by the large number of latecomers making people move so they could sit. Furthermore, several patrons seemed to come and go as they pleased throughout the performance. Very distracting and disruptive. I was so disappointed as I had heard amazing things from friend who had seen the show on Broadway. Due to these externalities, I was unable to fully engage with the performance.

Left at intermission. Loved the book. Could not understand actors. Don't know if it was the fault of the sound system or actor's inarticulation. Too bad. Staging was creative.

Creatively done. Good acting. But really no fun. Dialogue difficult to understand and hear at times.

The play was enlightening, beautiful in the portray of a young man with Asperger's. I think everyone would benefit from seeing this play. Brilliant, and beautifully acted.

It didn't make since. Thought the story would be about a dog and it really wasn't. The sound was sooo loud when they had the lights flashing.

Before going to the show I had read an article in the Phoenix paper about the production. It prepared me for the premise of the show - otherwise I might have been a bit confused as some patrons were. The acting, stage presentation were absolutely mesmerizing. I also recommend using the RF listening experience with your noise canceling headphones at the Gammage. They advertise it as a listening experience and I know this also led to the extreme quality of the production. This production leaves you thinking and also exhausted.

This was a visually stunning production with its projections and staging. The lead actor playing Christopher was a bit overdone, but the rest of the cast was great. I can see why this show won the Tony Awards for Best Play and Best Director.

There's 2 hours and 40 minutes of my life I'll never get back. I could barely stay awake during the first act. The scene on the train was so long when the first act was over I thought the show was over. If I hadn't gone with someone else I would have left. The premise was promising. The execution, not so much. Except for the lead I felt like the actors were acting. Meaning they didn't draw me in where the play moved me at all. It was like watching a school play performed by grown ups.

Great play! The "matrix style" background and lights enabled the audience to feel like they were inside the main character's mind.

Wasn't sure exactly what kind of show it was, in fact I purposefully stayed away from any reviews or in-depth information. Was a little leery when I got to the theater. But it turned out to be a good story, in a very unexpected stage environment. Glad I attended.

Precedent-setting production in every way: unbelievably creative set, lighting, visuals, use of actors as props, and absolutely impressive acting. The play is true to the novel's inspiration, and the message of advocacy for individuals with a disability is beautifully and powerfully delivered in a never-to-be-forgotten way. Spectacular vision and implementation. Thank you.

If you see only one play containing the Pythagorean Theorem this year, make it "The Curious Incident"!

The Show Was Excellent !! (get or bring headphones) Be aware that the "Incidents" are performed inside an elaborate cube. Therefore, the view from seats on the theatre sides may keep you from seeing one of the interior sides of the cube. I was in upper balcony seat # 26 & part of the staging was not visible. We missed it in London a few years ago but had to see Jacques Brel is alive & well. I am not a fan of the Gammage, so this is very high praise. Also, I only paid $24.50 for a upper balcony seat so I did not MIND THE VIEW. Cheers JJ

Couldn't connect w any of the characters, lead miscast, father's body language didn't reflect apparent behavior, staging too sparse. Surprise ending? I don't think so. All in all, have no idea what the hype was all about.

Great production with a fabulous set and fantastic lighting. The play is good giving the audience a sense of what it is like to live as an austistic person. Not my favorite play ever but definitely worth seeing.

Curious Incident is interesting and the actors are supremely talented. I like that it is different from anything I have seen, but that is also what makes is challenging. The story lags in the second act and the extremely loud noises and flashing lights create a sensory overload. I understand this is what the play wants, but it's a lot to take. If you love seeing plays and musicals, check this out for something different. Otherwise, I'd pick something else.
