The Story of My Life

I actually won tickets to see this show and am delighted I got to see it before it closed. I was deeply moved by the story and thought the performances, set, lyrics and score were all wonderful. The score was etherial in places and earthy in others, but well balanced and beautifully performed by two fantastic actors. The set and overall production were fully realized and everything blended perfectly. That I have worked in a bookstore for over 20 years and have unfortunately had a friend commit suicide might explain a bit of why I was moved to tears, but moreso was the chemistry and deeply felt certainty that these two men were perfect for each other in whatever form their friendship took. Kudos to these fine performers and the production who brought it all to life. My condolences to those who didnt get a chance to see this perfection especially the Butterfly song. I hope it will be released for production & an original cast recording will be released so I can relish it again.

i agree that butterfly and mrs remington are really good songs. I think we will be hearing these for a long time. I really enjoyed this show and think you will too. strong performances and singing. Anyone with a kid or a friend, current or former, will be a bit teary. Leave your cynicism home and give it a try.

I also saw this show in previews and was very moved. This show is unique in a good way compared to everything else currently on Broadway. The performances are fabulous.
