| I know what you mean about Sunday and those costumes. Some kind of synesthesia going on there I think. The show is truly pure theatrical joy. Even numbers I never cared about in the past come to exuberant life. I mean the entire cast gets a costume change for the curtain calls, blinding us with all that white! I saw Ms. Murphy first and she was wonderful, but Bette brings a lifetime of live-on-stage schtick, mugging, sashaying, winking, cornball sentimentality, and, oh yeah, singing that sent the show into overdrive for me. For once a show exceeded its hype. |
