AUGUST RUSH

I liked the unique staging of this production. Ensemble numbers were mostly enjoyable. The August Rush character was talented and pleasant to watch.. Being unfamiliar with the story line, I found it difficult to follow.

TOO ARTSY FOR ME.

Honestly, I was bored and almost fell asleep. The music all sounded the same. The actors were talented, but I couldn’t wait until it was over.

NOT A FAN

The was, by far, my least favorite show that I have seen at Paramount. The acting/singing was good, but the songs and format were just weird. I couldn't wait for it to be over.

NOT A GOOD PRODUCTION

A group of 8 of us went to see August Rush last Sunday, 4/28. Extremely disappointing. The story was poorly written, almost confusing. Nothing like the movie, including all the great songs and choirs . Basic set, 85 minutes. Everything we have seen at the paramount has been great. This is not even good.

CAN'T RECOMMEND THIS ONE

Sorry Paramount, I am a big fan of your productions but this is one I wouldn't recommend seeing to anyone. Although I very much appreciated the very talented & gifted performers I just didn't feel a connection to anything, (the characters, the music, the staging, etc.) at anytime. I also didn't care for how the Wizard character was portrayed. All I could think of every time I saw him was Max Headroom. When the play was over & I turned to my friend the first thing out of her mouth was "I couldn't wait for this to be over!"

REALLY MORE OF AN OPERA THAN A PLAY

The lack of dialogue (spoken word as opposed to musical word) arts the drama. We sat at the back of the theater and the lyrics were unintelligible, especially as sung by the boy acting as narrator. The music was enjoyable, with beautiful strings. The performers are surely very talented in more than one art. I don't ee it as a Broadway product, and certainly way below the other Paramount productions that I have enjoyed.

TERRIBLE SHOW

Impossible to follow, unmemorable music, ridiculous interpretation of the movie.
