Christian Mark Gibbs filled in for Jordan Danica on March 22, and he was brilliant. Couldn’t imagine the role played any better.
No problem with sound from second row center section 300 seats.
Loved the show, and didn’t mind the Sorkin updates. I don’t think most audiences will know or care about a few generally irrelevant anachronisms.
I had one minor note that I passed on to a production associate: the investiture scene thrones, which were curiously positioned downfront with their backs to the audience, blocked our view of the investiture, and the start of Arthur’s speech that followed. I thought the scene should have been presented with the thrones more upstage and facing the audience. Maybe that’s now been fixed.
Overall, it’s a terrific night in the theater. A handsome production, beautifully staged and performed, with an update that provided some character development, and gave dimension and resonance to the story.
Would I have preferred a faithful reproduction of the original Burton/Andrews/Goulet production? Yes! However, it is noted that the memorable original orchestrations have not been touched.
Highly recommended. |
