| I really enjoy Ricky Ian Gordon's composition and therefore was rather enchanted by the show's music, but the story was rather like a walk through a sun-dappled park. Lovely, but not especially compelling or memorable. I do wish more had come from Ms. O'Hara's more memorable performance in Ricky Ian Gordon's adaptation of FAR FROM HEAVEN, which I really really liked. - GMB |

| Far From Heaven was not written by Ricky Ian Gordon (though in my opinion it certainly suffered from the same "self-important" musical approach). | |

| I liked O'Hara's performance in FAR FROM HEAVEN very much too, but I felt the emotional heft of the film didn't translate well to the stage. That was surely due in part to the lack of visual sweep -- the art direction and Ed Lachman's stunning cinematography are hard to beat -- and partially because I found the music forgettable. Of course, Elmer Bernstein is a tough act to follow. | |
