When I saw the show a couple of months ago, I thought the audience (including myself) was enjoying it a lot, but I remember thinking that most of the credit for a funny night in the theater went to Nathan Lane rather than the script, with able assistance from Channing and Stock. But Lane really made the show work. I don't always think he comes across so well on the screen, but I think he is a true comic genius of the theater. His lengthy opening scene with Stock is hilarious and sets the tone for the whole show. And negative points to Broderick, who was so low-energy that he sucked some of the life out of the show. I've enjoyed his work in other shows, but at my performance, I thought he was sleepwalking.
