Boring!!!! There are more exciting things to do in Salem besides sit and watch bad acting. They did a poor job of "recreating" the atmosphere.

My wife and I have been to see "Cry Innocent" with friends at least 5 times over the years and everyone we bring has really enjoyed it. Each time we have been it has been a little different. The story of Bridget Bishop is compelling . It is a lesson to us today of the dangers of crowd hysteria and the importance of a legal system that ...

I thought that this was a great trip. The actors certainly held my attention. I'm a little surprised by all of the negative writtings on this site. (When I went let me tell you, there was not a single person sleeping.) It was great fun! Though a serious topic it was presented in a fun and family friendly way. I think before you write more ...

I came to visit Salem in the fall and after some research my family and I went to go see Cry Innocent. It was just plain awful. The hangings facinated me throughout the years and I was sincerely disappointed in this show. I won't go back to Salem after this disappointment. My two year old daughter has better acting. I would have asked for my ...

1. You could hardly see anything
2. There is no hanging, you only sit in a court house and listen to some bad acting
3. They make is sound a lot more interesting than it actually is
4. My husband fell asleep (which seems to be common from the other reviews...his actual words "this is worse than Church")

I absolutely hated the show. The other people who wrote "raving" reviews must have worked for the production. Horrendous. I wouldn't reccomend this to anyone with half a brain.

This show brought a turbulent period in American history into a little clearer focus for me. I had not realized how the physical distance from Salem Village to the township made the legal trials more problematic. By making the audience serve as a grand jury, one is forced to weigh the evidence, or lack therof, in a way that is not required from a ...

My list of why I love Cry Innocent: 1) Period costumes make me swoon. 2) Hearing Real Words that Real People spoke three hundred-odd years ago fascinates me. Why doesn’t this happen more often in theater? 3) Actors well-versed in the language and mindset of the time in order to improvise from said real words are cool to watch. 4) I like ...

I can't believe that people would think badly of this show. I came to visit my family this past fall and they took me to see Cry Innocent. It was amazing! I loved the interaction and the ad-libs the actors had to come up with. That whole period of history is so interesting and yet so overlooked - I'm glad that Salem decided to offer something more substantial then just Halloween propaganda. This was an amazing show!
