Yes, it was a nice show in 2008, and it felt like a complete evening as it was. The expansion probably feels like padding. It probably feels like that relative who comes over whom you like but now it's late and he just really needs to go home.
The featured story in 2008 was Uncle Fred Flits By, which is the current Act Two story. Uncle Fred is fun. The current Act One story is Haircut, which was also used at some performances at the second run in the Newhouse in 2009. Although Haircut has some personal significance for Lithgow, many people are saying that it is very boring theatrically and a poor choice of how to spend much of the first act. It sounds like it sets the wrong tone for the evening. |
