'IF/THEN' this afternoon ...

Posted by:	flaguy 05:46 pm EDT 03/15/14

Director Michael Greif made a little curtain speech from the floor of the orchestra at 'IF/THEN' this afternoon, stating that a new opening had just been inserted into the show last night, with new orchestrations. I don't think it was entirely new. Just some of the lyrics, maybe? (But then why new orchestrations for it?) Anyway, he explained that Idina Menzel would be carrying some note cards for that number as she hadn't had time to learn all of the lyrics, and she'd rather try to "act" them than struggle to remember them. So he asked for our indulgence, and the audience was quick to give it with their kind applause. This is the first show I've seen all season that had a "buzz" in the air the minute I entered the theatre. A HIT "buzz" of excitement. As for the show itself: Was the cast terrific? Yeah. Was Idina sensational? Yeah! Was I confused by the plots? Yeah. Did I like the score a lot? Yeah! Did the audience go WILD at the show's conclusion? Oh, yeah. Is it gonna win a lotta Tony Awards this year. ... Yes. I even bought the magnet.
