Hadn't seen it before tonight. I'm with you. Talented and accomplished people in the cast, badly employed by a production team that seems not to have trusted the material or to have known the difference between good acting and forced, overdone, phony acting in which everyone keeps italicizing everything. Way-too-busy musical staging. Of the principals, Tom McGowan did best, maybe because he wasn't there for the original rehearsals or because he simply really understands how to seem like a real person.
