Saw BeLIEve twice!

November 26, 2008

BeLIEve truly is a work of art! Full of humor, beauty, and magic. All combined into one. As a fan I saw a man on stage who just loved performing, and I myself appreciated every moment of the show.

So I went in with an open mind. I've read all the reviews. I was ready.

Saturday night the crowd was so low, meaning they did not respond to any of the humor, illusions, etc. I saw Criss struggling to win them over, and he worked very hard at it. He put his heart and soul into that performance, and I, as a fan, appreciated the show...not because I am a fan, but because one has to go into this with an open mind. No, there is no acrobats, and some of the illusions we have all seen on Mindfreak. But it was, nonetheless, BEAUTIFUL to watch. I loved it!

Monday night the crowd as a whole different story...they were upbeat, laughed, screamed, and made the cast and crew feel like their hard work was worth it. It was great. The second time around I loved it more. I saw more details that I missed the first time around. It's a love story with an evil villian intertwined, and going into Criss' dream and mind was an adventure.

It just goes to show that Criss appreciates not only the edgy side but the poetic and beautiful side as well. He definitely pushes his boundaries in the show. Nothing like what you would see on Mindfreak. It's theatrical, and I hope this show continues to thrive.

I will definitely be back!

      I can't wait to see the show next week since the two I saw were previews. That first one you went to must have been kind of painful with people not responding. The ones I went to were kind of mixed. It's like half the time they got it, some of the time they were clapping politely and the rest of the time Criss really had to work at it to get a reaction and sometimes didn't. I hope people start getting it. It's theater. Not all people understand every artist though.

      We yelled "Criss, Criss" as he walked by and he looked up and said "Hey Ladies, Thanks"

      I was lucky enough to be with one the crowds that was really into it. Everyone was clapping and enjoying the show. I was at the preview though. You got to see the show in its final form. Thanks for sharing!!!!
