A review as manic as Rob McClure

It was a little too much. It seemed like a studied exercise in energetic enthusiasm, unwarranted in my opinion, but suspiciously over the top for such a minor effort. However, considering he is the one who explicitly said to move this thing to Broadway, I guess he couldn't rethink his taste as a commercial producer. If this begins to sell because of this (and a few other) reviews, I'd be amazed. If it doesn't, the creative team could always tuck this review under their arms as proof that any production failure was not their fault. The most eye-popping statement from all the reviewers, however, was Linda Winer's description of Rob McClure's performance as "understated." There is one word that did not occur to me during either of the two times I witnessed this production. In the meantime, perhaps anticipating a long run, I think I'll take two tap dance lessons in case they need an understudy or replacement for Danza.
