Posted on: 'Believe' audience looking for magic in show's previews

I firmly believe that this show has great potential. Of course it's not perfected yet....something this complex takes time to evolve. If you don't want to see imperfections, you shouldn't buy tickets to preview shows. There are a lot of technical issues that need to be worked on, but once that is done, it's my opinion that the show will be a roaring success. I plan to see the show at least once a month for the first year. I am looking forward to being witness to the evolution of a project that is like no other.

Some have complained that they couldn't follow the story line. This I can understand because the story is about Criss, his life experiences & his emotions. I suspect that one would have to know Criss & his personal history to get the full impact of the story line. They may want to work on that aspect of the show in order to satisfy a broader audience. It needs to be done so that even those who have never heard of Criss Angel can follow & enjoy the story. Even then, I think, everyone will have their own, personal interpretation of the story. It's like an intense fairy tale combined with a complex ballet production....where no two people will see it the same or feel it the same. That's the best I can describe it....and it's not just because I'm an Angel fan, either. Criss was ok individually....but the intensity of the show is a result of the whole emotionally-charged production and the ability of the players to draw you into their world, into their minds. But you have to be open to it....you have to be willing to give up your own world for a while and just let yourself go....allow yourself to FEEL. Unfortunately, there aren't enough people who are comfortable enough & secure enough in their own skin to be able to let down that wall of false security & feel the raw emotion of the moment. I pity those who are afraid to let themselves feel. They are missing out on the true beauty of life.
