I actually enjoyed this. I thought all the performances were terrific, and Condola Rashad was absolutely incredible. The production itself was definitely misguided. I would have loved to have been in on the design and production meetings for this just to hear what the hell the concept was supposed to be. The filming of this was so well done. Definitely high def, and the sound was perfect. I'm hoping BroadwayHD does more shows like this.
"There’s nothing quite like the power and the passion of Broadway music. "
I can see how Condola's performance might come across better on film than live. It was more of an internal Juliet. I liked it but I know others felt she was a weaker link among the cast.
How full was the theater? Wondering how will this is going to sell.
I have not seen this (hoping to see it this weekend), but I must say to that poster above, Twelfth Night was filmed at the Globe, and the DVD is available online. I'd highly recommend it.
