Stunning production, but I also felt the musical captured the brilliant dark comedy, tonal dissonance, moral ambiguity, and social commentary of Durrenmatt's still somewhat shocking play. It's one of the few shows in recent memory that made my skin crawl (in a good way). To my mind, it's the strongest work of Kander and Ebb's late career.
And I'm glad I was able to see the show when Rees was still in it. He was extraordinary. |
