I also think the point in 94 was that it was an opportunity to see a legendary matching of role and performer--of course, she wouldn't be the same as she was in 64. I wasn't either. But it felt like a privilege to be able to see her. And her monologue about the leaf still moved me to tears. 20 years down the road--when I am getting closer to Channing's age then (I still have another decade or so to go), I feel Dolly's loneliness and resolution.
I bet Channing would make a fascinating Madame Armfeldt. I saw Margaret Hamilton, Zoe Caldwell, and Elaine Stritch do it--each brought different colors and qualities. Isn't that what makes live theatre wonderful? |
