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.
Really creative, original, well-done, thought-provoking.
