Wow...I wish I'd seen a performance like the critics you quoted did. Perhaps I was there on an off day. At my performance, Heche, whom I'd thought terrific in PROOF a year or two before this, had almost no presence at all, except for one entrance in a fantastic gown that garnered applause. I remember her slouching all over the furniture in ways that did not seem very 1920's to me and certainly not appropriate for someone trying to pass as a movie star goddess.
I was very surprised that she got a Tony nomination for the role and wondered at the time if part of that could be leftover appreciation for reinventing the lead in PROOF, following the indelible Mary Louise Parker and Jennifer Jason Leigh, who gave an impressive Parker impression. Or maybe it was just a weak season of leading actresses in plays. |
