I saw Arcadia (Broadway) on 04/16/11. Overall, I'd say it was a 3-star rating. I'd summarize it by saying “for fans of Stoppard and his writing, English Lit and British History. Classic show!”

I had a interesting time and left the show feeling content and slightly tired. I'd describe the show as dense, entertaining, and a period piece. Raul esparza was a highlight of the show because his acting is quite amazing. If this were a movie, I'd rate it PG-13. I would recommend this show to fans of British Literature and History, scholarly folks and fans of classic plays but not to kids .

I saw this show because I am a fan of Billy Crudup and Tom Stoppard. I would see it again. I sat in the center orchestra area of the theater. The view was clear and sharp and the seats were comfortable!.

I loved this show thought it is very long (three hours) and very dense! The story is quite different then anything I have ever seen, but very easy to follow. If you're a fan of Stoppard or any of the amazing actors in the show, you will walk away happy!
