Saw it at City Center and went back today. Levy definitely has really improved as Mother. Her vocals still feel a little too modern for me, but I really thought her performance was much more developed.

The sets and costumes kind of didn’t feel much different to me than what we had at CC. Nothing on that stage today, set wise, added to my enjoyment. Instead of moving ladders, we now have moving ladders that are decorated to look more turn of the century. Okay. Maybe the only thing

As for Mother, Claire Foster would be magnificent in that role. If anyone on here saw Benjamin Button,
