Watched both the opening and closing night of "M&M" in Görlitz, Germany. Will never forgive myself for forsaking the chance to watch this show in London in 96.
Görlitz did a very fine job, the audience on closing night stayed in their seats till the orchestra had played its last note. Basically it was done as a show within a movie, with the opening and closing credits projected on the curtain and the leads wearing whiteface.
But it´s true, the 2nd act is somewhat of a downer although the end was somehow mellowed here - Mack sings "I never promised you a happy ending" to Mabel on the phone while she slowly dies.
As I have never seen the show before - there were several hints of a drinking problem with Mack. Is that the usual thing for this show?
Here´s a trailer:
