| As I walking out of the theater last night, at least ta few people next to me praised Sills and Socha. So I guess I wasn’t the only one who enjoyed “the mess” last night. It’s ironic how last year several ATC posters begged Encores to do a complete Mack and Mabel after hearing Sills and Socha do a few songs as part of the first 2019 Encores. And now Sills and Socha are merely competent? |

| I subscribed to Encores because I was hoping they would one day stage Mack & Mabel. I don't think people were begging Encores to do the show only on the basis of seeing Sills and Socha do a few songs. In fact, after seeing "Hey, Look Me Over," I was really hoping they'd cast someone else in the top roles. I'm still glad I will finally get to see Mack & Mabel but I realize that, sadly, I am being unrealistic to expect to enjoy stars of the caliber of Robert Preston and Bernadette Peters. Oh how I wish that were not the case, though. Because I have seen some outstanding performances over the years at Encores. | |

I haven't seen the Encores production, and don't have a dog in this fight... but it's surely not incomprehensible that stars singing highlight songs in isolation might play better than a more fully realized production. |
