Saw this. It was amazing:

Amazing staging and usage of 'special effects' with doors built into tables as props for most every scene. They would tumble them over, and climb over/in/out of them to show scene changes and to represent emotional changes. It was a very physical performance.

It was a musical. We had no idea it would be until we were handed the program.
