[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We saw it in Chicago, and I appreciated the fact that it's in a small theater. I think it will get lost in the Kennedy Center's Opera House.[/quote]

I wondered about this. It will still be worth seeing in DC, but the Broadway theater that it is in is one of the small  "Jewel Box" theaters, which is a reason tickets are so hard to get. It will be a different experience at the Kennedy Center. Just saying I would spend bigger bucks (and have) to see it in NY than I would in DC.  Sounds like Chicago is more like NY.[/quote]

Yes, in the 80s, I saw Les Miserables at the National and Phantom of the Opera at the Kennedy Center, and I could never warm up to Phantom.  I've come to believe it was because it was so cavernous at the Kennedy Center as opposed to the small, intimate experience the National offered for Les Miz.  I think the theater size definitely makes a difference.[/quote]

In the mid-1990s I saw Les Mis on a HS field trip in Philadelphia and I was hooked on musicals for life after that!  I subsequently saw Phantom on Broadway (after it had been out 20 years) and could never warm up to it either!

I saw Hamilton on broadway (front mezzanine) and have been to KC (orchestra) more recently. For some reason I don't see a real functional difference between these 2 but maybe I'm not enough of a seating connoisseur.

I saw Book of Mormon at KC and really liked it. Aside from seeing the original cast of Hamilton in NYC (and I am barely ever able to see the original cast of hit musicals), I am very happy with the KC performances. I'm going to have to take my kids to NYC (we have family there) to see Aladdin- that's next on my list and it doesn't seem to be coming here![/quote]
