For a director with so much acclaim (and known for dynamic staging of plays), it still shocks me. It's embarrassing, and sadly reflective of her directing of the entire production, in terms of the entire staging and design, and the direction of the material into this "updated" and half-baked gender-switch (and as I say every time this comes up, I think a gender switch version could work, I don't think this is it).
As another poster said it looks like a bad musical sitcom. I've seen high school and college directors do a better job with this number. |
