Yes.
In this production, it was the first time I felt I heard all of the lyrics in a clearly interpreted, properly phrased and enunciated manner -- even though sometimes the interpretation was not conventional. Previously, I knew the lyrics primarily from memory. In contrast, I thought the most recent production of Carousel did NOT give the lyrics their proper due. But what total disappointment that production was. For decades I would claim that Carousel was the best musical ever written and that it was actor proof. I had seen elaborate productions, bare bone productions and even high school productions. But the power of the writing was evident because all the audience always laughed at the same time and cried at the same time. Not so this last time around and I had to change my mind after witnessing it.
But all has been better than the other day at Bat Out of Hell when I couldn't understand 90 percent of the lyrics. |
