| Overall, a good production. 7.5 out of 10 Pluses: Oscar, Testa, Mutu, the Orchestra, the blocking (for the most part), the choreo (the acrobatics actually worked), "Where Is Love" (forgot how this is SUCH a powerful moment), that SCORE!!!. Minuses: Cooper's "As Long As He Needs Me" - It's an iconic torch song...let her torch it and don't stop the flow to emphasize emotion; same with Esparza's "Reviewing The Situation" (which turns out to be a NYC Marathon of running up and down the stairs). Let him sing the damn song through! ; Esparza's diction - what? WHAT DID YOU SAY???; Artful Dodger was miscast - was that character even there? ; Pajack is a fine performer, but how about an Oliver with a bit of vulnerability? This kid is belting "Where Is Love" like "Rose's Turn". Again...that SCORE!!! |
