Samuel Beckett's "Endgame" is a literary roller coaster on paper, and an auditory one on stage. EgoPo's production makes the avid theater goer as well as the theater new-be excited to take that ride and ready to get in line all over again. The actor who portrays Hamm (Ed Swidey) is the reason why one sits in the first car of the coaster. His performance is noteworthy as is the other members of the cast (Doug Greene, J. Center, Ann Gundersheimer). Director Lane Savadove takes license with Beckett's usually sparse stage and places the unconventional family in a cluttered basement. This visual representation of the life that these characters are leading aids the layman in attaining understanding of an otherwise hard to grasp play. Savadove's "Endgame" has weaved in the elements of humor, humanity, and humility in a way that makes for a worthwhile evening at the theater. Collapse

I saw the show on opening night and have to say I was pleasantly surprised and very entertained. Egopo does a great interpretation of Beckett's famous piece and the actors delivered memorable performances. I found myself laughing often and would highly suggest seeing this show. Collapse

Egopo's production of Beckett's Endgame is superbly realized. Dazzlingly hysterical and ultimately moving performances by Ed Swidey as Hamm and Doug Greene as Clov, and superb supporting turns by J. Center and Ann Gundersheimer as Nagg and Nell, make this a must-see. Lane Savadove's brave direction and the intriguing setting give Beckett's supremely challenging play a life that will keep you talking long after the play is over. Collapse

This play documents the real life stories of people in North Philly. Brilliant work by the actors. Most importantly, every monologue is delivered with exact words as said by people interviewed. The show is interactive and awesome. Collapse

We took our niece to this a couple of years ago and it was one of the best events we have ever attended. There is something to do at all times. The activities are engaging, well-planned and satisfying to fans of the Harry Potter series. The museum is an ideal stand-in for Hogwarts and the staff really step up as well. Patience is required as you may not be able to partcipate in your first-choice activities every time due to the crowds, but there is always something else to try or to at least look at. I would not bring a small child to this, but there were some older teens at the event I attended. These kids were enthusiatic and well-behaved, so I would not exclude a serious fan based on his or her age. Collapse

This is well worth the ticket. A truly great performance of a real American classic. The intimacy of the space was a real bonus. The acting is excellent. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Wanted to do it 2 yrs ago and it was sold out so I planned ahead this time and finally went . Tickets said 25$ but if you want to go near Halloween you need to use Ticketmaster because they sell out. With their " Fees " tickets were $37.50 .Parking was across town at the Zoo without ANY instructions where . We get to the event and get in and it was pretty disappointed . Some makeup of the zombies was good but it seemed more made for kids than adults. You're practically rushed through an hour or so . They even took back the 3D glasses . And in the end you open up to t-shirt and food stands with overpriced snacks and carny gimmicks . The museum however is pretty nice. All I know it was nowhere near worth 38 bucks per person nor the 3 hours I drove to get there. If any advice I would say : Don't waste your money on the night show and stick to the day tour museum .
