At the Zorba talkback, Walter Bobbie responds

Posted by:	wisebear 06:49 pm EDT 05/09/15

A questioner asked why Bobbie chose to eliminate the opening bouzouki circle. I felt his response was rather lame. He blamed having the orchestra onstage, saying it didn't make sense to have a circle of thirty musicians sitting in front of thirty musicians. Not very satisfying a response, considering (in my opinion) the cost of what you lose in drama. He described his opening as "starting with breath." More like a gasp. Still I enjoyed much about the production, despite finding the lead atrocious. (And with a potentially awesome Zorba - Robert Cuccioli - being wasted right there on the same stage).
