| This is the first musical in YEARS that I didn’t have to wear earplugs. For me, the sound is perfect because it isn’t overamplified and more like little amplification. Now I was third row 200 section and I did wonder if the mezz could hear anything. But it’s all about me and the sound was perfect. My friends wanted to leave at intermission which they didn’t tell me until after. I was expecting a slow evening so I was ok with the pace. The songs are sung nicely and I thought it was well cast although Soo is no Andrews in voice and warmth. But she’s fine in the part. The sorkin rewrite is pretty glaring with throwing out the timeline. Reference to voltaire, modern science and marriage is a “business partnership” are jarring. I almost expected iPhones to show up in the second act. I know it is fantasy, but it is based in the Middle Ages. The one change I like is sword fight over jousting at county fair. It’s more practical than the usual song watching the crowd watching the jousting off stage. And usually sword fights look so fake, but kiddos to choreographer that staged it—well done. Morgan le fe being older is ok. Mordred is late teens so she would be mid 30s anyway. It’s clear that Arthur was very young when he was having sex with her and then assisted his older brother to tournament to pull the sword. So Arthur being 10 years younger is ok. |
