| While I admired that Riverswhen went into the show to prove she was (still) an actress, the performanceI was disappointing. I'd been a fan of hers for many years, she really wasn't ready for this. Everything about her performance was uncharacteristically (for Rivers) very small. While this may have worked for the character who lived a mundane life of regret and disappointments, she needed to come alive remembering her youth, particularly when she danced with George Raft. Both Lavin and Elizabeth Franz (though I'd only seen video clips of their performances) brilliantly brought this to life, as she (they) stunned her teenage son when she demonstrated a few dance steps from another era for him. Rivers was way too tentative, and kept looking at her feet during this sequence, missing the joy and confidence required of the character in this moment. | |
