I saw Enron (Broadway) on 05/08/10. Overall, I'd say it was a 3-star rating. I'd summarize it by saying “Well acted and intelligent”

I'd describe the show as smart. If this were a movie, I'd rate it R.

I would see this show again. I sat in the right orchestra area of the theater. .

To tell the truth, I did not know a lot about the Enron scandal before I saw the show. I knew what had happened, but not the specifics of how and why. (In my defense, I was young and foolish at the time). Given that, I really enjoyed the show simply because I learned so much. The story was told in a clear yet entertaining way and left me wanting to investigate the event (and other similar events) further. The acting was great, and I thought the multi-media and fantastical elements lent themselves well to the story (loved the raptors). But, it was a bit verbose and dragged at points (despite the actor's best efforts).

Was this helpful?
