| 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. |
