| I saw Loudon’s second performance, which was enthusiastically greeted by a NY fan base that spelled initial excitement. I realize that early cheers for a beloved star - and she was a theater star - are a Broadway regularity. But there was much enthusiasm when she was announced. I thought she was game, and delivered the sizable Lovett I prefer. It needs that musical hall component to counter Sweeney’s grim gravity, and Loudon gave unstintingly. She went up in “By the Sea” (covering masterfully) but by then had the audience with her. I was in my late 20s and didn’t follow box office but presumed she was a draw. Yes, I bought my weeknight seat at TKTS, rear orchestra, which is itself a comment on her impact. |
