The praise for Sir Tom Stoppard's masterpiece Arcadia could not be more effusive. A reviewer from The Daily Telegraph gushed, "I have never left a play more convinced that I had just witnessed a masterpiece." Whereas The Independent wondered if it might be "the greatest play of its time." The reason for such enthusiasm might be found in Stoppard's uncanny blend of brainy discussion and down-to-earth emotion. In this play alive with ideas -- about Byron, entropy, history and heat -- the human characters are never lost or diminished, but somehow made more real by their participation in a conversation that seems to span centuries. Set in a sprawling English country house, Arcadia moves between the 19th century and the present through a series of love stories, while characters from both eras discover connections, unearth mysteries and unravel hidden truths. Artistic Director Carey Perloff helms the American Conservatory Theater's dazzling new production of this modern-day masterwork. Learn More

Report as inappropriateWe took two teenaged grandson's, not sure if they would enjoy it or not. It was a total hit, we all enjoyed every minute of it. The music and story captivated and delivered!
Report as inappropriateThis show was incredible ! It exceeded our expectations from the music, dancing and acting it was all great !
Report as inappropriateBily Elliot was fantastic! The energy of the actors/dancers was amazing. I am always concerned when I am unable to pick my own seats. However, the seats you assigned us were perfect.
Report as inappropriateLoud, fun musical about a boy during the British miners strike in the 1980's who preferred ballet to boxing. My 3 teenage boys and my wife loved the Elton John score; I liked it, but was more impressed by the dancing and the overall set/staging. The accents were not as difficult to follow as other reviewers have suggested, but I'd strongly recommend reading a full synopsis of the story before the show. The plot is quite predictable. For me the music was good but not memorable. What steals the show is truly the singing and dancing of young Billy. Overall, a very enjoyable performance.

The eyes never rest as Billy's home and other sites unfold and slide in from the walls of Ian MacNeil's boldly drab union-hall set (expressively lit by Rick Fisher)."--San Francisco Chronicle
