One of the missing elements here is that neither Diane Paulus nor anyone else in the production has told us why they've decided to cast this particular show in this way. What's the overall concept of this production? Is it set in the 1700s? Are the actors wearing period male costumes, something more unisex and contemporary, or something else? It's hard to tell whether this is an overarching directorial concept that will illuminate the text, or if this is just a gimmick.
BroadwayTonyJ, it sounds gimmicky to me to cast Hal in Picnic with a female actor. Was it clear why the show was cast in that fashion? |
