This was definately a work where I was the target audience - Homages to German expressionist cinema like Caligari, or Metropolis, A faustian tale, cabaret staging with homages to Brecht & Weil. I smilled through the whole thing.
I particularly loved Robert Wilson's staging, his use of lighting, slow movements across the stage - I think this is the best production I've seen these devices used (though admittedly it's hard to see many Robert Wilson works in LA).
But yeah, I'd pick and choose who I'd recommend this one to - there are but a few people that share my quirks that were indulged in this one.
