There should be something deeply moving in seeing the women struggling to remember and execute the old lines and steps. But the emphasis is on how well the old gals perform, making the number celebratory.
These subsequent revivals have added the 'missteps' etc. The bolded sentence would describe the original choreography and intent of the number. He seems a little confused.
I love Scott Brown's reviews more each time he reviews.
Matthew Murray is who we might all become...if we're not careful: someone who is incapable of seeing the good in anything. The better something is, the more fodder it is for his deconstructions. If something succeeds in being one flavor. he simply analyzes why it isn't another. His reviews are not right; they are merely negative. They are not insightful; they are merely incisive. They are not right; they are just sad.
If we all are not careful, we will grow up to be Matthew Murrays, writing bitchy theater reviews for talkinbroadway.com.
My review of this review thread is 2 out of 5 stars. No real standout performances. Everything proceeded calmly to a predictable finish. Such a disappointment.
What the hell is wrong with you people? You must have blown your energy in the 3,000 "preview" threads.
EDIT: Although I do give a shout out to the handwringing over Buddy's last name. But really, is that the best you can do?

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Most people probably don't remember that thread because Jan put it in her bag, as well.

Who's seen the opening night photos? Geez, they really caught some people looking their worst. I'm pretty sure Mary Tyler Moore is no longer a human woman.

I can't tell if it's the lighting or the photography or the camera they're using, but they manage to make even the 20-somethings look 50-ish nearly every time there's a red-carpet shoot.
And gorgeous Mary Beth Piel looks like she just passed the borders of Shangri-La. What the hell?!
They're not doing anybody any favors by shooting it this way.
