While Quinto is similar to Leonard Frey from the original, if you go back and watch the movie, he is very different due to his state of mind throughout the play. Hutchison, on the night I saw the show, was nothing at all like Peter White. He was much more aggressive in his line readings and even displayed a bit of anger at times.

The Hank - Alan exchanges sounded eerily like the film to me. Even the way Hutchison says "attractive fellow." But it's not a big deal comment. I just find the original cast iconic, and sometimes, perhaps, it takes more effort to discard the original line readings.

IMHO, Quinto comes across like a character out of Mary Shelley's fevered brain and he made me uncomfortable at times. Kudos to Matt Bomer for doing the most with the least. Cowboy doesn't register, but, all in all, I thoroughly enjoyed everyone else in this production. As I mentioned earlier, the set is ridiculous. I can't imagine anyone, with the possible exception of Mariah Carey, living in it.
