| This staging gives me a severe feeling of claustrophobia. I don't think that's what Sondheim intended. I'm all for "realism" even in a musical, but "literalism" in a number like this (with everyone cramped into that ersatz storage cubicle for way way way too long) is just awful. Maybe one section of the song that way, to make the point - but then, please god, open it up. Or does the whole show take place in that little box? I'm reminded of "Marta" from Kiss Of The Spider Woman, where all the men were packed together in a cell as a torture technique. "Talk, goddammit, Bobbie, talk!" |
