| I saw the show, and what was on the Tonys did not really represent it well. I agree that the Tony number seemed hyperactive and distracting. That isn't how I remember the show. Not to say I thought the show was good. I thought the book was terrible (with some truly cringe-inducing lines). And the projections were...not my favorite. Very Des McAnuff, and not in a good way. But hyperactive/distracting movement wasn't the problem. I think the music comes through well enough in the show, and probably people who are less critical than me wouldn't care that the projections are largely just names of US cities, shown different ways, over, and over, and over.... | |

| It's good to hear it's not all like that. In fact, re-reading the linked article, which I read after the Tonys, I see that Trujillo made a point of it not being all like that (although he still makes it sound like a lot of it is like that). Still, I think it's interesting that you say, "I think the music comes across well enough in the show." I would hope it comes across at least well enough. Anyway, I've never seen Jersey Boys or Beautiful or any of these bio-catalog shows. They just don't interest me. Actually, I think a good show or movie about The Temptations might be more interesting to me than a good show or movie about The Four Seasons (haven't seen the Jersey Boys movie either) or Carole King but it doesn't sound like this is it. And it's not as if I have the money to see very much nowadays. |
