All this hype aside, it is on several levels an excellent musical, filled with fascinating ideas, engaging characters and production values virtually second to none.
It's exuberant, unexpurgated, unafraid, edgy and bold. At the same time, it reflects the highest possible standards of athleticism, craft and choreography.
A Streetcar Named Desire is without a doubt the best production that I’ve seen all year, and theatregoers should beg borrow or steal their way into it.
