This show is just wonderful - a great introduction to The House in their new residence at the Chopin Theater. Dave DaVinci Saves the Universe has a lot of heart, a lot of innovation, and in the end it is really a love story with a lot of awesome time travel and literary fantasy in the mix. Great performances and an absolutely breathaking overall design. Seriously, don't miss it. I'm already planning to go again.

We loved it! It was fast-paced and so creative. The acting was superb. Too bad it was closing night, I would recommend it to all my friends.

The play was confusing with scenes jumping back and forth in time. Also, I found the ending not to be logical (not that a time travel story is that logical) since it conflicted with the previous scene. Overall it was interesting but not a home run in terms of the story or the acting.
