So this is possibly not something that would normally be a listing on Yelp, but it's SO FREAKING GOOD that I can't resist adding it. Seriously. People need to know about this play, because it's amazing and only runs through February 20th. Go check it out - I promise you will thank me later.
Honestly, Fantastic Mister Fox has probably ruined all future theater and movies for me, because it's so freaking cool.
