Thanks all. I checked both the show website and Telecharge before buying a ticket. I was afraid I wouldn't like it because of the many complaints I had read about the lack of Carousel horses in the Carousel Waltz, but I loved the dancing in the Waltz and throughout the show. The orchestra sounded great. It sounded like an orchestra, instead of a tinny-sounding recording because of poor amplification that I've experienced at other shows.
Derrick Davis was very good. I'm very impressed if that's only the second time he's gone on.
I'm glad to have caught Jessie Mueller, Lindsay Mendez, Alex Gemignani, Margaret Colin, John Douglas Thompson, Amar Ramasar, Brittany Pollack, Corey John Snide, subbing as the Fairground Boy, and Renée Fleming, who sounded wonderful, but who I would have loved even more without the scooping and straight tone. It's was nice to see Craig Salstein, formerly of ABT, in the ensemble. |
