If I'd been directing, I might've made a minor trim here or there (and cut ''Mrs. Dees' Rant''). But I sure wouldn't have touched the opening Act II waltz: ''The Night the Pugilist Learned How to Dance.'' Michael Esper and Collin Kelly-Sordelet have such great chemistry, and you get to see Gideon show his more sensitive side and bond with his son. To me, it's not the ''bloat'' that kept it from staying afloat. Audiences just weren't interested in the subject matter. I'll agree with you on this, though: Sting and the cast really pour their heart and soul into every song.
