| I saw it three times - the first was about 3 weeks in; the last was about 3 weeks before it closed. I felt like it changed dramatically between viewings. The first time he was not entirely comfortable with the material; some of it just didn't feel organic (obviously the spoken material - the songs were perfection, but then again he can do no wrong in my book.) And "Ghost of Tom Joad" wasn't performed originally. By the last one, he was amazing. So funny and charming (I've seen him in concert dozens of times so I knew how funny he was, but he was such a raconteur in this show) and "Ghost of Tom Joad" blew me away. It was when the federal government had started separating families at the border and it was so incredibly powerful and charged. Incredible experience. |
