**** Highly Recommended  Drury Lane’s production of "Da Vinci Code", adapted by Rachel Wag staff and Duncan Abel, based on Dan Brown’s bestseller, kept me on the edge of my seat.  I must say, even if you’ve read the book and/or seen the movie – which I did – you will be drawn into the mystery.  The casting is spot-on, the staging impressively mysterious.  Kudos to Director Elizabeth Margolius.   Hurry and get your tickets for this must-see show!  4 BIG Spotlights
