| I must agree with the praise for Samuel E. Wright. When I saw the show -- which was workmanlike yet lackluster back in the 80s -- Wright alone turned it into something more arresting and even disturbing. His explosion suggested a show that might've been (and yes, I get that his eruptive set piece was designed thus, in stark contrast to the other narrative elements). Over the weekend I listened to his performance of the number, and remembered how we all leaned forward in the theater. Wright was a great gift to musical theater. I, too, saw him in Over Here! back in the day. |
