Patti Lupone, strong wonderful performance, applause, applause, the lady is a star, she understands the philosophy and essence of the stage, wonderful. Act one was very entertaining as the story unfolded and the actors began to introduce their character. At times the story/musical seemed to lose some of the momentum it had built up . I've said it before, in a musical, to much dialogue suppresses the moment, it tends to slow and depress the point of the story. Leading up to intermission there was a welcome surge in sound and song, adding needed flavor before intermission. Soon after the curtain went up for act two, wow, the St James Theater roared, a jolt of pure, live, full filling musical entertainment filled up the theater, and captured the audience till the final bow.
With such a powerful, talented leading lady, the ending should of taken advantage and capitalized on her extraordinary talents, sing, sing out loud, leave the audience speechless. The ending was sufficient for the story, the most obvious way to conclude, but Patti Lupone left something on the stage.
