"ENCOUNTER" IS MAGICAL THEATRE
This is truly magical theatre, so brilliantly staged and acted that the total effect is close to genius. I loved it in Brooklyn last year and loved it all over again in it;s Broadway transfer.
It still provides one of the best evenings Broadway has to offer. Dont miss it.
