I was there tonight as well. I thought the singing was splendid tonight. I also was enchanted by much of the dancing. Amar Ramasar from the New York City Ballet is especially strong.
As far as the scenic design goes, I have was sitting in dead center first row rear mezzanine and the sets do not look shoddy up there. The costumes are fine.
I don't think this was a great production but it is far from the disaster that I was expecting from reading several posts here. And it is good enough that I would definitely return to hear the score and watch the dancing.
I thought Joshua Henry was mostly strong but he seemed uncomfortable in some of his scenes. Is this a problem with the direction?
I had no problem with Jessie Mueller's performance though I wish she had had more to sing.
Lindsay Mendez and Alexander Gemignani are wonderful as Carrie and Enoch though I can't say I was as over the moon about Mendez as some have felt here.
There wasn't as much of the Starkeeper tonight but his brief appearances in Act One are distracting.
The new Playbill features Joshua Henry in near darkness illuminated by a spotlight but Jessie Mueller isn't present at all. Weird. |
