| Pretty nice show -- No Yazbeck -- A couple of excellent performances -- a lot of OK numbers -- I believe I've seen all the shows (and several that weren't shown (I think there was a show about baseball at the old Circle in The Square, highlighted with the Abbot and Costello routine?) , but the memories of the sensational performances I saw the first time around probably served to disappoint some of what I saw yesterday. It was kind of nice to see that each vignette had a fine set, although 50 scenes (It seemed that way) was a little too much. My wife reminded me that she doesn't like the Channel 13 shows where they do Shakespeare scenes or Opera highlights either. Maybe, if Act One was a montage of Love Songs, Act Two : Comedy scenes, Act Three: Tragedy. One production melding into the next might have worked. Who knows. Mr Prince was sitting in the back. |
