| I was there last night and agree with all of the above. This was an "intellectual" experience for me, not an "emotional" one as I felt during The Producers, Avenue Q, Hairspray and some of the recent "Motown" inspired shows. Jackman didn't have an ominous presence in my opinion and I kept "seeing" Mary Tyler More in Sutton's appearance. I couldn't fathom how the Irish actress, Marie Mullen could be the mother of an 8-10 year old boy and how he could be Marion's brother. The only time I felt truly emotionally connected to this show was pre-curtain call when the excellent Benjamin Pajak, stood by himself on the stage. |
