| I saw the show this afternoon also (there seem to have been a number of us there. It is funny that the Harold Hill allusion occurred to me also. I wonder if htere was a conscious choice on Murphy's part to go with that as her con man image? I think though that part of the cast's seeming more at ease is perhaps too a natural growth into their roles and the tension of awards season being over. I say because some of the biggest growth I noticed came in scenes where Dolly is not really a character. A big exception is the mother hood number but I think that is just a matter of the actors really getting their timing down pat. They have it now in aces! Murphy is nothing short of sensational and anyone lucky enough to see her is getting their full money's worth. If you have seen either actress go back and see the other. It is a different show and yet the same show. You are quite correct in pointing out how they have made very different choices but how each is equally valid. Only one thing puzzles me. Each time I have seen this revival and they do the "Sunday Clothes" number, I come close to tears. Why is that? |
