The best way to determine your opinion of a performance is to actually see it.
Steven, now that you have actually seen the La Mirada production, could you tell us if you still think that their version of Solidarity is "cringeworthy"?

Nope...different...but not cringeworthy. But it is simplified but that's to be expected...doing it blind to the other productions even added in a couple new ways to show thing...arguably the violence factor is increased(when tony gets hit its WAY clearer...and in Angry dance the police reallllly lay into the rioters). One bad thing...the police uniforms are frankly laughable, I think they look like 1920's police uniforms(seriously). More to come later.ERinVA wrote:The best way to determine your opinion of a performance is to actually see it.
