I wish Jesse Green would stop referring to "the usual City Center problem of under-rehearsal...."
Imagine how much better "Into The Woods", "Chicago", "On The Town", "No, No Nanette", "Most Happy Fella" and "Gypsy" would have been if they'd had more rehearsal time.
Pal Joey seems to have been in development for a number of years. The problem with this production is not the lack of rehe

Rodgers and Hart contributed some of the greatest songs in The Great American Songbook. If you've heard Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Lena Horne and so many other great artists perform these wonderful songs you might be seriously disappointed at what you hear in this production of Pal Joey.

If Billy Porter wants to tweak or f--k with the book that's fine by me but when you start messing with the music by adding a funk beat to just about every number, that's another matter. I don't go to Encores so much for the book as I do for the music. I want to hear the original arrangements. Last nights' performance was really hindered by poor sound design and the funky arrangements made everything sound alike. It was musical wallpaper. Cy Coleman deserved better.

The last Encores production before the covid shutdown was Mack & Mable which had a problematic book but a wonderful score. So after waiting for two years this is the production the new artistic team chose to kick off with. THIS?? What on earth made them choose a show with a mediocre book and an equally unremarkable score? I thought a large part of selecting the Encores productions was to rediscover and appreciate the scores from lost or forgotten musicals.
