| Neither Rannels or Borle seemed to have an understanding of their characters (which ultimately must be laid at the foot of Lapine). Whizzer should be everything that Rannells was not---certainly not a big self-centered effeminate man. And Borle, who should have found the vulnerability of Marvin only found a mean and almost psychotic Marvin. Except for Betsy Wolfe I thought, of the many productions of this I have seen, this was the worst performed. I still think this is an extraordinary piece of theater but this production did not do it justice. |
