Anyone see The Sting at Papermill with Harry Connick, Jr?

Saw it last night.  Loved it.  Haven't seen a review of it though.  I know that they hope it makes it to Broadway.

We have tkts.  Glad to hear.

My neighbor behind us (who I like a lot more than my neighbor across the street!) saw it and she said it was good. Said Harry Connick is great. 

Saw him in “On a Clear Day...” on Broadway. Has nothing to do with this question, but he was amazingly handsome in person.

I ❤️ Harry, thought the show was a lot of fun and would be happy to sit all night listening to him play the piano and sing. I understand most remaining shows are sold out, but I recommend seeing it if you can. 

Yup.  Sold out.  It was such a pleasure every time he just sat down at the piano and starting playing and singing.  It made me think that the show was written specifically for him.

Our tickets are for Sunday night ... looking forward to it!

It's.....a musical??

Indeed, a pretty decent musical adaptation of "The Sting" which periodically gets derailed for a Harry Connick Jr concert.

I needed more of the original story and less of him.

NJ.com didn't like it.

Oy. Sounds like a solution without a problem.

Seems like they took a view opposite to mine.

5 out of 6 people I know who saw it enjoyed it. A couple thought it was fantastic. 

I'm the only one who didn't enjoy it much at all.

I saw it, too. Actually, I have never seen the movie, so it was a little confusing with all the levels of cons being played. I enjoyed many of the performances and dancing (although the men carrying the women on chairs while dancing didn't seem to have much rhyme or reason). The show as a whole didn't really move me, but the person I went with loved it. I think familiarity with the movie will make it more likely that one enjoys the play. I thought the Luther (played by Kevyn Morrow) and Johnny Hooker (J. Harrison Ghee) were exceptionally good.

We loved it.
