"I think the glorious performance of Ms. Young was hampered by an exhausted voice." I appreciate how unlike her prior work this performance was, but I saw it in previews and wondered if she would make it through the week without damaging her voice.

"Some theater can’t translate on this different scale." This is often true of filmed or taped theater. Sometimes you really do have to be there.

I agree with the poster above who prefers "Purlie." The wild shifts in tone seem less out of place in a musical, and the songs have an uplifting effect. I wasn't sorry that I saw this revival, but I did find it a disappointment. Odom and Sanders were my favorites in the cast.
