jumperkidI don't often get the opportunity to watch live theater. I think it's probably the number one drawback to WORKING at a theater. I tell you what though. If this is the only play that I get to see for the rest of the year, it'll be worth it. I've been working as a wig/wardrobe swing for the Signature theater lately, and this particular play ("Ace"), I've actually ended up working for the past like, three weekends. Since I worked so much, I got comped in to actually watch the show. GUYS. If you're in DC, I TOTALLY recommend you try to go see this show. It's a new musical about the Air Force as seen through this one family. Since it's new, there are a few moments that still don't totally work. The prologue is a bit weak, but once you get past that the show just takes off. I ACTUALLY CRIED. Which, like. Never happens. If we are very very good and the theatre gods decide to be benevolent, this show will make it Broadway and it will get recorded so that I can have the soundtrack.
