| So much energy, so much talent! The set is amazing to look at. And I am sitting cross the aisle from the man himself, John Kander! Yet, I could not get into the story or feel and root for the characters. Yet, judging by the audiences reaction, I was in the minority. I felt like I was at the hottest ticket in town! I wish them every success. It is a love letter to the city in so many ways. |

| Pay no attention to the audience. Today they would react that same way at PIRATE QUEEN, or DR ZHIVAGO, or MOOSE MURDERS. We have to be patient and live with that. | |

| It was a Monday evening when other shows are dark so a lot of theater folk in the audience ( Brad Oscar, Angie Schworer, John Kander ( employee discount? ), me, etc ). Also an understudy was on: Julian Ramos. Many were there to cheer him on and nice he got recognition during the bows. The show is a mixed bag... a patchwork quilt with a lot of loose strings. When a song like "A Quiet Thing" doesn't land that says a lot. During previews of "Steel Pier" David Thompson was cutting back-stories of characters and the opposite is needed here. And maybe those cut songs from "Steel Pier" could have worked in this show ( Francine gets put in a failing musical, since the leering producer bit is lame )? | |
