Your critique is fantastic and exceptionally written. My only comment is that at the performance I caught early on (an energetic Saturday night) Parsons was shattering in his portrayal. This was before the Times reviewed the show, though. I wonder if anything has changed since? He was clearly the center of everything and his party game was so clearly driven by his lack of love, or need to bleed. Jesus was also fantastic as you mention. But it really was Parsons night when I saw it. Harold’s exit line was such a relief because you just wanted some hope that Michael wasn’t going to bleed himself to death, as it were.
I don’t know why I forgot to post my rave after seeing it. I loved everyone and everything, especially the set. |
