| I did! I loved it. I thought the Stroman version was stronger if not as strong as this one. This production had the Jerry Zaks signature opulence of beautiful scenery and costumes like he did with Hello Dolly. Choreography by Warren Carlyle is beautiful. Like I said. Stroman's choreography was really etched in my mind. It's the first preview. As it is, it's already a great production. There are a few minor things, like Hugh was bumping on stage with some kids. They have a long preview period and this is bound to change. They are not set to open till February. Hugh is the centerpiece of this show. He has charm and charisma for Harold Hill and dances so well obviously worked hard for months to do the show. Sutton was great, a bit miscast but loved her. She is not a soprano so her My White Knight was belted. Most her songs are belted with a soprano mix. It worked for me, gave Marian the edge she needed. The supporting players were also fabulous. Jane Houdyshell, Shuler Hensley, and the boy playing Winthrop. I have tickets for January and February. hopefully, this show doesn't get shut down. I went last night last minute thinking I may not be able to see this again because of all the shutdowns happening. I wish them a long good run. |
