| I can't help but wonder what a Funny Girl revival would have looked like had it been directed by Susan Stroman, Tina Landau or Lucy Moss. Others that I think could have done it better than Mayer? Casey Nicholaw, Christopher Ashley, Jerry Zaks, Jack O'Brien, Lonny Price, and even a trio of director-choreographers whom I don't typically think handle libretti well--Kathleen Marshall, Jerry Mitchell, and Rob Ashford. Mayer's leaden direction exacerbates all of the problems in the book without improving any of them even slightly. |

| At this point, there's not much that Mayer can do, unless they want to shut down and totally re-tech the show from scratch. | |

| ^^^ That's my vote. | |

| The production needs the full Scarlet Pimpernel. | |

| " grabbing a fistful of Jared Grimes’s sweatshirt when trying to convince him of her talent, or hoisting herself on top of the piano," the one hint in the article that maybe things will improve. I don't know about the bit on top of the piano but one thing I found missing previously was Brice's desire to succeed and to be loved. I am a little more curious about seeing the show again now. | |
