Agree Krakowski was great. I missed Caroline O'Connor's snazzy red dress, though, a reflection of what connotes naughty or racy in a child's mind. The white dress was pretty, but I think it obscured some of the song's intention.
Didn't much like the first half at least, but it got better as the minutes progressed. I'd seen only the original cast of WAITRESS, so I wasn't prepared for Chris D.'s snappy, marvelous song-and-dance performance. I think I'd seen him only as Moe in that awful Three Stooges movie a few years ago. Kudos to him. And Ana Gasteyer was another very bright aspect of the show.
Overall I still prefer the original movie and the Broadway version several years ago: more charming, less frenetic. |
