Uplifting live theater
It was wonderful seeing a live production after so long. The production was held in a large tent with lots of space between rows and seats. Programs were accessed through your phone, with posters on the tent poles. The tent location is nowhere near their theater, so make sure you use your GPS. The production was terrific, as were the performers. You can never get too much of the Gershwins songs. The melody's and lyrics are unforgettable. Show is 75 minutes with no intermission The rest of the summer lineup is just as exciting

Boca was ok, Bubble seating was not
We drove almost four hours to see Boca. I grew up in Florida and now winter in a 55+ community. The play was cute, could have been better. Personally I equate Boca with the top wealth - 55+, Boynton or even Valencia might be a better draw for a title. What bothered me was the venue. The A and B sections were sold out so I picked “bubble” seats which said to bring our own chair. That day we were told the show was sold out. We get there and find there were only six people with “bubble” seats. Two didn’t show, two sat inside at the last minute, leaving us - I found this awkward. I think with some minor tweaking, the show will do well in the “boca” market - I liked that the “mouth of the rat” translation was included
