| "a professional, respectable performance" Reminds me of how I felt about Elizabeth Taylor in The Little Foxes and Jane Fonda in 33 Variations, although Fonda was better than Taylor. Taylor particularly seemed like an understudy who was given very strict instructions to imitate the star. Fonda at least seemed like the understudy who was given a bit more leeway and had been playing it for a couple of weeks while the star was on vacation. |

| I agree with your assessment of Fonda's performance based on the first time I saw it, at a critics' preview. However, I went back and saw the show again in its final week, and by that point, she had fully come into her own. | |
