IT WAS BETTER THAN EXPECTED.
I cried three times- i never cry during this type of performance. Would highly recommend this to any of my friends!
If you like dance in any of it's forms, RUN and SEE this show!! The show was excellent! High caliber dancers combined with a fantastic mixture of music styles to provide a knockout of a show! A complete danced-thru show where YOU get to interpret what is happening onstage simply by watching the dances. Very concise choreography helps to lead you as you join with the dancers, begin to figure out what is happening, and become immersed in the story they are telling. Outstanding performances by every dancer on the stage made this one of the most fulfilling shows I've seen in years. The range of emotion that was portrayed without words was simply astounding. It should be picked up and transferred directly to a Broadway stage, in my opinion.

<p>The Question is a full-length story-driven theatre piece entirely danced to a progressive, independent rock score. This gripping story is based upon the author’s experiences while sitting on a jury for a first degree murder trial; certain questions came to mind: What really happened on the night leading up to the murder? Who else could have been involved? What complexities did the accused really endure on that fate-changing evening? And how much has this experience changed so many people’s lives? After this particular foreman’s service was fulfilled, the U.S. justice system took on an entirely different gravity.</p> <p>In The Question, an ensemble of 26 re-lives this dramatic tale, masterfully revealing all evidence for the truth to finally be known: bodies and music being the only devices on which to rely.</p> <p>An emotional meltdown, a steamy shower, an anonymous lap dance, a crushing proposal, a speeding bullet, an unexpected murder and a drug induced night resulting in a baby on the way: These are the events leading up to a trial by jury with one disgruntled juror, the deciding vote and an entirely shocked courtroom. The defendant then journeys from trial to sentencing and aftermath. The entire company performs a heavenly finale where they lead one pair of star-crossed lovers to birth their baby and another to take their love to new heights: "I need you so much closer."</p> <p>The decision is made. The stage is bare. Light falls dim. The future is now the past. It all began with one little question...</p> <p>Musical artists include Inara George, Jamie Cullum, Yoav, Sean Hayes, Sigur Rós, The Faint, Feist, Death Cab for Cutie, and Korn featuring Amy Lee. </p>
