| I also saw the California run. Although some of the music was pleasant, I'd stop short of calling it lovely -- and there really wasn't a strong argument as to why they decided to musicalize the material. It was clearly a troubled production, with the original leading male being let go right before performances began and his replacement essentially learning the show on the fly. The leading lady in California sang well but wasn't much of an actor; the romantic pair had zero chemistry. The production looked cheap and was poorly directed. It seems like some improvements were made for the Milwaukee run (the role of Rita was recast, among other things) but I don't foresee a long life for the show. |
