I just saw Blast in Wallingford, CT at Oakdale Theater. The place is huge. There was a good crowd opening night, but most of the real fans were in the back and you could barely hear their cheers. Touring cast is about as good as the Broadway version...about five holdover members with most of the rest currently at Disneyland. The two major papers, Hartford Courant and New Haven Register, both gave basically good reviews. The New Haven reviewer understood the concept and liked what he saw. The guy at the Courant hadn't a clue as to what this was other than a very long halftime show during which you would not want to go out for refreshments. As with most other Blast reviews, If you like band or corps these will make you want to see the show. :p :p
