PA Fan and I went to the preview of Bklyn last night. There is no intermission. It reminds me very much of Rent so I didn't feel like it was that original. The songs are really good, but have the same rock anthem style as Rent and Wicked. Sometimes we felt like Eden was copying Edina Menzel on "Defying Gravity". All five actors are on stage practically the entire time. It is a little less than 2 hours long. The actors change the sets and costumes on stage and that is a big distracting. I thought the costumes and set were somewhat interesting, but again, sort of a clone of Rent. My favorite character was "Paradice" and Ramona Keller played her heart out! The audience was different - maybe packed with people who had already seen it? The way that some people were screaming and jumping to their feet even during the show was strange. I didn't think it merited that. The actors sort looked like they expected it, especially Eden. While I'm glad I saw it and I enjoyed it, I'm not dying to see it again.
