"Great acting throughout. Fascinating storyline and subject. Only problem was with the sound. They didn't seem to be miked and we couldn't hear some of the dialog in the balcony."

Tough to hear
"Brilliant performances by the entire cast, especially Lithgow who fully inhabits this monster giving energy to his words. But precisely because those words are powerful, Giant is a difficult play to watch and hear. You hate yourself a little for staying to the end and absorbing his verbal blows and comments, but you are transfixed by glorious, seamless portrayals even when filled with hate.

Very good but not quite great show
"Overall really good play. Worth seeing. Definitely relevant to our times. Some great performances, in particular, Aya Cash. Some really powerful moments. Was moved by some of the play but expected to be moved more. Not sure why I wasn’t. Would still highly recommend."

Good topic and presented well
"Show was rather intense and the way they presented the controversial topic was done very well. The acting was very good. But it was hard to hear the actors in the mezzanine and difficult to understand due to the accents of the actors. "

Great play, but sound problems continue.
"Wonderful play- the parts I could hear! I am not sure if there are any microphones. It sounds like there is not. If you sit in the mezzanine, it is very hard to hear the dialogs. I wish I had read the many many reviews stating this is a problem from the previews. It is not fixed. We had wonderful seats with a great view in the center Mezzanine, but Lithgow and others were very hard to hear. It is a shame. Very disappointing because it was a great play."

Dragged
"Only a few good part to the play. Started off slow, got much better before intermission, then fell flat.
A lot of the subject matter you would have to have known about Dahl's life to understand the references.
Disappointed in the cast's performances."
