Ashford is a passable choreographer but an appalling director. I think perhaps that he believes that direction is merely choreography of book scenes: moving actors around.There was clearly no direction of the sort that would help Carrie Underwood and Stephen Moyer understand their characters' needs and wants and how to portray that in their acting. The seasoned stage professionals (MacDonald, Benanti and Borle) held their own because they filled in the gaps themselves.
