"I saw this production on Broadway and......it never quite took flight for me. Once you got over the initial excitement of the sets, costumes, and anticipation of star power, it fizzled. Almost every actress in it, I have enjoyed more in other shows......All great performers, but no one was at their best here. Perhaps that points to the direction? I remember word of mouth at the time was that it was a misfire."

Sadly, what you wrote about this show could just as accurately be said about many other Roundabout productions, in my opinion :-(

I agree. Roundabout productions often feel tepid and feel like missed opportunities.

I think the quality of Roundabout productions has been generally higher in the past 5-10 years. In the early 2000s, it seemed like their main priority was often to sign a recognizable actor, usually someone coming off a television show or who'd had a bit of movie success, and put them in any revival whether it suited them or not.
