| The show works on the strength of the songs (the lyrics really are very clever), the actors, and the bare-bones but entertaining presentation. (When the show ran at the A.R.T. in Boston, I'm good friends with the bass player, and it was fun to see her and the guitarist truly featured onstage, grooving along with the cast.) The conceit of the book isn't much, but it holds the evening together. I really really enjoyed seeing it. Not every show has to be the 1971 Follies to be memorable lol. |
