It’s everything one hoped for and more. A solid entertainment filled with magnificent performances and a glorious production. Jackman is a terrific song and dance man with boundless energy. Foster, who also received thunderous entrance applause, once again displays her award winning triple threat talents. The enormous stage is filled by a large and charming ensemble. The dancing is joyful. There are several deservedly show-stopping numbers.
Hillary Clinton was seated (row H center aisle) accompanied by her daughter and son-in-law. They were likely the guests of show producer Barry Diller, who sat behind her. I believe Mrs. Diller (Diane Von Furstenberg) sat between Hillary and Chelsea. A few secret service types guarded the group during intermission, but several audience members kneeled in the aisle and took selfies with the former Secretary of State.
I explored the mezzanine during intermission and was once again impressed by the very decent stage view from seats even in the far sides of the uniquely designed theater. I recall that I sat in the last mezzanine row for my first visit to the Winter Garden - The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1961). I think the ticket price was $2.50. |
