| I saw the original production, pre-Broadway in Boston. What I remember are the incandescent performance by Teresa Stratas (if that isn't redundant I don't know what is, incandescent and Ms. Stratas almost always go hand in hand), my first look at someone I knew would become a star (Judy Kuhn) and the mess that was the storytelling. My point is, if ever there were a musical where a major reworking of the plot would be in order, Rags is it. Based on the review, maybe they have salvaged a memorable theater score. I certainly hope so. |
