| I had seen and liked March of the Falsettos and, somewhat less, Falsettoland as individual musicals, so I was surprised by the at best lukewarm response most of my friends had to the Broadway version last year. It didn't grab me at all on camera. The opening looked like a musical version of the Heaven sequence in Perestroika. I'd say it was baffling, but it wasn't intriguing enough to baffle for long. I tuned it out. I slept through most of it. The end is still touching. I wonder if there is a built-in problem with a director revisiting a piece he has already directed. His/her main objective seems to be to do it differently, which might blind him/her to the fact that the goal should always be to do it well. Whatever the reason, I'm sure the show could have been shown to better advantage. |
