Interesting Story, Strange Production
I wanted to leave off a star rating because I don’t know what to think about this one. The story being told is actually riveting, familiar, heartbreaking. But the propensity of production choices piled on top of that story are genuinely suspicious. A relatively short tale is brutally stretched over way too much time, with non-stop repetition of the same points over and over, and frankly cringey audio effects overlaid. It feels melodramatic and manipulative, which is disappointing because the story at the heart is one I am inclined to believe and take seriously (and would have believed without any question at all if not for all the bells and whistles in evidence). Hayden is giving a HARD, polished sell, which is a HUGE turnoff for the subject at hand and makes me wonder what the other side is. He would do better to give us the facts, nothing but the facts, and leave the audio editing for scripted narrative fiction.

It’s really hard to take these events and anything Sean says seriously, which should be a very important topic. ...Read full review »

I was sent this show by a colleague. I have been employed by the Goodspeed Opera House. I worked closely with the SM BRADLEY G SPACHMAN. He was the reason I had to quit. This story made me feel less insane. Even if you don’t have as strong connection to the story - this story will hit you in the...Read full review »
