what happened to the husband Rebecca comes in search of?
It seems like the roles played by DIck Latessa (Avram) and Marcia Lewis have been retooled based on description of "Three Little Rooms"
"Blame It on the Summer Night" as a trio?
when I saw a very good conservatory production years ago, I thought Rebecca is just a reactive character, she has no impetus, and that's bad for a main role. It was a good choice to give her more agency as the review indicates. Also, "Children of the Wind" is not a good intro for the character. At the show's opening, she has not earned the right to speak for the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Something more specific to her own person is necessary to engage with her. The added duet for her and Bella works better.
(it's been awhile since I thought about the show, so maybe I'm getting some of this wrong)
remember John Simon's headline "Sad Rags" and him saying Judy's Kuhn's character experiences the double indignity of dying in the fire and having to sing the title song (which I think is a knock-out) |
