Yeah I thought about that, but it seems to be set on music, so I didn't mention it. However, you make me remember that while it's sung and not spoken, A Visit is one of the few moments where she speaks as herself (insomuch as a character that is an allegory for death can be a "person"). Point is, it requires some acting in a way that the other numbers do not, since we were talking about what might be required of certain performers who are not known for their acting.
Another example of this, although also sung and not spoken, is the snippets of the song "Come" that are sprinkled throughout the show. Although with the exception of the opening lines of the piece, most of this is not preserved on either cast recording. Definitely seems like the sort of thing that woul be cut for a movie version! lol. |
