| Some were great and really enjoyable: "Wonderful Town" with Donna Murphy, "Boys From Syracuse" with Rebecca Luker and Debbie Gravitte, "Paint Your Wagon", "Fanny", and "Grand Hotel", even though it used a lot of Tommy Tune's staging and choreography and wasn't billed as such, come to mind as I ponder this. Some were disappointments to some extent: "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" should have had better casting, same with "House of Flowers" which not only had a rather humorless leading lady in Pearl Bailey's role, but has a really bad book. Most are somewhere in-between where you are happy to hear a score with a live orchestra and having quibbles about some of the performers cast. Others are delights by being true discoveries -- "Face The Music" with delightful, hilarious performances by Emily Skinner and Brian D'arcy James, she with a hilariously indeterminate Eastern European accent, and he as a man who keeps switching personalities as he keeps getting bopped in the head at particular times during the evening. |
