I actually admired Sarah Travis' orchestrations - except (and this probably links with your comment) when the full cast had to be singing, meaning sometimes only piano was playing, which was not at all enough. I always kind of wished that Travis would have been asked to flesh out her inventive orchestration to get rid of those "holes" in the sound, and let MTI offer it as an alternate orchestration (i.e. NOT to be performed by the cast.)
For me, that production of Sweeney was a very good concert. That's it. For the most part, I felt people were too busy playing orchestra instruments to also look credibly involved in the scene. No acting, no theatre. It was a concert. |
