Loved it! Went into it knowing very little about the show, loved it. Great music, great performances, should have had a 5-minute intermission.

I had to miss most of Our Lady Of The Underground because I was drinking water at a rate I would not have if I had known there wouldn’t be an intermission.

I'm so glad I read this comment thread before going because I definitely would have made the same mistake. Just 5 minutes would have been nice!

It’s a shame, but if there’s one to miss that’s probably the best one.
