Vanities

I thought it felt very tired and dated and static. The music has a sameness and is pretty much a drone. The three women are pretty good, but not exceptional in any way. I saw the play, and it was ok, but this really isn't a musical. It's just the play with a few songs added. I can't imagine this on Broadway, or even off-Broadway. This seems very Pasadena-bound to me.

I was unprepared for the impact this show would have on me and my entire family. I couldn’t imagine making the story of Rocky Dennis into a stage musical. I’m glad that I didn’t miss the opportunity to be completely amazed. Seeing this version of Rocky’s story made Cher even more redundant. I could feel Rocky’s anticipation as Dozer told him about riding to Sturgis, in song. Time and again, I was directed and connected to the hearts and lives of real people, living the joys and tragedies of their lives, out loud and on purpose. Thank you. I had the good fortune to be one of the bikers arriving together and parking in front of the theater on El Molino. Fellow audience members, and cast members, too, treated us like part of the show. We certainly felt that we were. With tears streaming, and thunderous applause, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of Mask.

What an amazing production! From Jacqueline Wright's beautiful, dark and humorous writing to the amazing set, costumes, lights and sound-- this show will blow your mind! A perfect example of what LA theatre is truly capable of.

I was dragged by a friend kickiing and screaming to see a Chekhov musical!!! LOVED it. Little long, but such good actors, great voices, music really complex, snappy book, complex lyrics... great evening of theatre.

Very interesting play. Raw and edgy with characters that give it such color. With classic funny moments and an ending that pulls you in with intense acting rarely seen in today's theater community. recommend highly for all who wish to see a different kind of play!

This play blew me away!. Its a really powerful, moving piece of theater that deals with who we really are and what we want in our lives despite the politics and traditions that would pull us all apart. Israeli-Palestinian conflict story line but goes way beyond that . Great acting, directing, visually beautiful Must see this!
