What I liked

Acting was terrific, extremely ambitious in production and logistically flawless by the time I saw it, astounded by how they pulled off the timing. My particular track meant I got my tarot read, got to solve puzzles and got to sing, so I was thrilled! All of the characters were extremely engaging and I loved being able to download with other people I knew afterwards to see where they went! Also loved our identifying buttons and the character pins.

What I didn't like

Although everywhere I went I felt safe, I know friends I went with felt uncomfortable at times on the streets in Hollywood at night. Although it was based on Eliot and that was the point I have to say throwing in verse can fundamentally undermine the point of immersive in the first place which is to say that it is somewhat alienating and in immersive having the story easily pieced together by the audience is an important element. Although it was executed wonderfully, at times it felt like a processing overload and was intimidating to ask the actors questions in non-verse!

My overall impression

Highly ambitious, well executed, thought provoking show with multiple tracks. Be prepared to be separated from your friends but dont worry, you will remain engaged throughout and enjoy exchanging stories with them afterwards!
