"I guess mine is a minority opinion, but Peters' crying in 'Clowns' spoiled it for me. In fact, to me she did the opposite of what Brantley said - she made a melodrama of it. I would have been much more moved if she kept it more understated."
It's possible that you and Brantley just had different reactions, but it's also safe to assume that Peters didn't play it exactly the same way at every performance. Perhaps her crying was more understated at certain performances than at others. When I saw the show, I would say it was quite understated and very moving. I do agree that song is most effective when the emotion in it is more understated than overt. |
