This production was one of the highlights of my theater going of the season. It really lives as a live event. The choices were bold and vivid. The pace was breathless. One of the glories of the show was that everyone was on the same page. The comedy may have been broad but the emotions were deep and true.
I think the glorious performance of Ms. Young was hampered by an exhausted voice.
The stage design which was so simple and beautiful in the theater ( and so easily changed from scene to scene) lost some magic when viewed on a small screen.
Some theater can’t translate on this different scale. |
