I saw all three. Channing was just excellent as was said above. A genuine comedian and a serious actress combined. Rare. I had seen her in The House of Blue Leaves too and that is one of the funniest performances I've ever seen. (granted I was a teenager but and liked sitcoms but she still seemed brilliant to me. Each announcement she had about her various jobs....I didn't work for the phone company for nothing etc!!! were just hysterical exit lines)
Kurtz and Mahoney got Tonys but to me Stockard was the engine of the show and why the play never seems to work anywhere else. Baranski seems dull to me in the video.
Bishop was adequate. She has a coldness about her that didn't quite work in the final scenes.
Marlo Thomas was fine. I remember her being adequate and not a disappointment even after the bravura of Channing. |
