UTBA

The trick with reviewing is that I’m not allowed to say, “The play was amazing,” and simply leave it at that.  Apparently the general public wants more information than that.  So I dissect the acting, the directing, the lighting and such—but even that is not enough.  If you know the details of each theatrical element in the show, but weren’t actually there to experience the feeling of the show, you are still missing something.  As a reviewer, above all else, I most want to portray the intangible/the essence/the vibe to those who may read this.  I want you to feel, like I did, how amazing a show really was.  This is my challenge.
