Merlin/more Pelli/Nimue

and magic were there for a reason -this has always been the problem with this musical.  We could use a lot less of the turgid drama and maybe a little more of the fairytale fantasy until reality sets in at the end.  Remember the lyric - one there was a spot......

 

Right on the money about Cariou!!!  Brilliant performance......and when he snapped, it was terrifying.

Hearn was over the top from the beginning IMHO.

FYI - Merlin and Pelli are normally played by the same performer.  Hope they didn't remove the comedy Pellinore had!
