Has anyone seen this? I had never heard of it, but we have a subscription to a local series for touring Broadway shows. So apparently, it won a Tony in 2009, AND it's about mental illness, bipolar disorder, and psychiatry. Enjoyable, engaging, great singing. Overly dramatized ECT, over-emphasized therapy for an overblown link between trauma and bipolar psychosis--but other than that... I kind of liked the psychiatrist--by the end of the show I think he showed that he saw the patient as a whole person somehow. The show's set up so you identify with the family, I think--but the husband and daughter are engaging characters.
Just wondered if anyone else had seen it, and what your reactions were.
