I did not realize that her husband had such an awesome voice. I wish he would do an Encores show. Sometimes you can tell if a person is a singer by the way they speak and I always suspected he sang.......And by the by Stephanie is very friendly when she is out and about.....
I was flying out of the Phoenix airport and they were using dogs before you showed your ID to go through security. It made the whole process a lot quicker.
Part of any theatre piece is to make the themes relevant to today's audience so I am sure that it will resonate. I saw it done 20 years ago in SF and found it very relatable. I guess it will just depend on the acting and the direction. It is a solid enough script but it does not compare to Angels In America. It is really more of an off Broadway venture.

At the end of the day it is only the NY Times review that matters.....so bravo!
poisonivy2 said: "I saw this in early previews and now and the show seemed much funnier and faster last night. I think the seriousness people were talking about in early previews was a matter of timing and actors forgetting their lines/stage directions. Norbert Leo Butz made the most improvement -- he clearly has watched some Stanley Holloway because he's acting it with way more humor and joie de vivre now. They also obviously sent him to dance class because his dancing was much

You are in the last row but you should be fine. It is not that big of a theatre. It only seats around 1067. The show plays better towards the center sections given its presentational staging.

Watching the show last night from the center loge, for the most part I was absolutelyenchanted. I've always considered MFL the greatest of all golden age musical plays, despite having never seen a Broadway mounting that actually worked for me (going back to the revival in 1976). There was no major revisal here-- Bart Sher's esse

I actually thought Eliza could have led the ensemble a bit more through the number coming up with the Ideas herself and getting them to go along with it. Bart is very good at staging ensmbles to where they feel like real people that work and live in the world of the play. MFL still needs work in that regard.

Handsomely staged with some haunting melodies and effective ensemble work. It is the book that disappoints somewhat but overall a very enjoyable evening.
I was so saddened to read that two of the male leads in the original production were struggling with AIDS and one went into pulminary arrest while recording the cast album and died. Brings tears to my eyes.

I also felt like the chemistry between the 2 leads will probably mature through previews. There seemed to be a moment while they were dancing but it was hard to see because they were dancing upstage in a cramped area and turning in circles so I could not catch their faces nor do I remember them looking at each other.
I think Ambrose is probably an organic actress therefore she has to feel her responses before she speaks thus creating some slow cues. When she was cast I felt it was a goo
MCfan2 said: "SmoothLover, what do you mean by "upstaged himself"?"
He was talking to character's upstage that were further upstage than himself thus turning his back to the audience when he was the focus of the scene. It is fine to do it when the action is on lower thrust because you can still see his expressions since the house is surrounding the thrust but the scenes in his home are too far upstage. In those sequences the person he is
I saw the matinee today and I thought all of the elements were there it just needs a few more weeks of previews to sharpen itself. Sher and his actors have done the work, they just need to trust themselves and their intuitions. It is to no ones surprise a three dimensional approach which is appropriate. Ambrose has made smart acting choices, she just needs to pick up her cues and pump up the volume on her vocals maintaining the nuance and interpretation. Patton was kind of adorable and he too

Radnor is not that great of an actor to begin with. He is better in this than he was off Broadway last year at the New house playing the same sort of character.
I think the writing could be better. The first episode let too much out of the bag leaving very little intigue for future episodes. I agree the girl was quite wonderful and I was surprised she had no Broadway credits.

Oh my God...It really ran that long. Argh! They will get it under 3 hours because overtime is too expensive.

The evening felt like an in the know talent show fundraiser instead of an actual show. The narration and scene work should gave been trimmed. I would have gone song to song and not worried about costumes and props. As with all talent shows some things worked better than others. The evening was rather long for a musical review.
