| I think it's more the material, the way the role has been reconceived, as Ms. Hicks actually has one of the strongest voices in the cast. But Sugar here has no real vulnerability, and the overpowering amplification doesn't help either. I saw the recent production of the Jule Styne-Bob Merrill "Sugar" and the more traditionally cast actress, along with the rest of the excellent cast there had better and stronger material which actually didn't rewrite the essence of the famous sex comedy that Billy Wilder and company wrote and filmed. |
