Saw the show on Saturday. Great set, music, lighting, etc. Metcalf did a great job with this juicy role. Willis may as well have been a stagehand running lines with Metcalf. He was just a warm body, lending nothing to the lines. Truth is, he was exactly what I expected. In the end, it was entertaining enough for me to leave satisfied.

But just when you think the rhythm is lost, there is a saving funny moment. Was this a fantastic play? no, but it was e...

Went to the 11/17 evening show. Was a little bit worried after reading some posts here, but couldn't have loved the show more. Wasn't sure how Pacino would pull off his role. I figured he'd over do it, as he has been known to do. It wasn't HOOWAH! yelling, barking Pacino. He surprised me with a slowed-down, gentle performance. He does play it more as a beaten down, former hotshot salesman - and at a much slower, deliberate pace than Lemmon in the movie - but I thought it was awesome. The rest...
