Top review. Possibly the most complete musical ever made. While I was too young to have seen the original Broadway production - and thus that might account for the previous criticism posted above - I think the fault lies with the reviewer seeing a 's musical in 's terms.
The lighting, so criticized, added and accented the moods of the film as few films did at the time. The music, possibly without match in an American musical, fit the moods equally well - taking the viewer from the high tensions of the Young Lovers or of the eventual return of Emile.
At the same time, the bawdy humorous numbers add temporary humor while the tension of the story line mounts. Socially, the themes of race and general human cruelty are delivered to the audience without them even noticing.
Something in which so many of the modern-day productions fail miserably. Truly the most complete American musical on many levels! Details Edit. Release date April 14, Brazil. United States. English French. Juzni Pacifik. Kaua'i, Hawaii, USA. Box office Edit. Technical specs Edit.

Previews Mar 1, Opening Apr 3, Closing Aug 22, Broadway Musicals Drama Award Winning. Critics' Reviews "Love blossoms fast and early in [Bartlett Sher's] rapturous revival Back to Top. View our complete guide to Broadway's reopening. It is perfect beyond fault. It fizzes with energy, with sheer professionalism and magnetism, and with a cast led by Beck and Julian Ovenden who absolutely nail every single note.
This is feelgood at its best. Joanna Ampil is a very different Bloody Mary, a rather beautiful, totally Machiavellian woman, her performance is excellent. The ensemble work is joyous, Chichester Festival is back. Daniel Evans has done justice to the seriousness that underlies the musical's 'cock-eyed optimism', supported by an excellent cast and creative team.
Julian Ovenden and Gina Beck are superb. Joanna Ampil as a believably vulnerable Bloody Mary below the tough exterior. I cannot fault this production. The singing is absolutely glorious. This production really does demand to be seen. Big musical theatre is back. Seabees and Ensigns are a roaring, storming ensemble, set-pieces like Honey Bun stopping the show with our glee.
It is utterly joyous and joyful. It conveys its message by stealth and winning your heart as well as your mind. He is self-effacing, charming, attractive and, clearly, an attentive father. And that voice!
Gina Beck is a lively match, shifting convincingly from loving to critical and from embarrassed to contrite. Book this show now! Evans has assembled an outstanding company who deliver musical theatre excellence. Production values are magnificent throughout with Evans and designer Peter McKintosh making fine use of Chichester's massive revolve.
