I'm one of those audience members who was, to put it mildly, not enamored with Steven Hoggett's choreography. I honestly felt embarrassed for the ensemble as I watched them shake and shudder and do those bizarre zombie body rolls the night I saw the show. It felt so unnecessary and untrusting of the material.
But, then, several weeks later I saw them do that same choreography on the Tonys and the whole thing felt absolutely thrilling. I think a lot is owed to the excellent direction for television (and camera work and editing,) but the staging really 'clicked' for me watching it on the Tonys. Anyone else have a similar experience? I'm guessing I'm not the only one because the performance seemed to get one of the best reactions of the night.
I'll probably see the show again before the end of the year and I'll be curious to see if it works for me in the theatre now and without the benefit of the camera. FWIW, when I saw the show I was seated about 1/3 of the way back, in the orchestra, house left. |
