When staged well, J&H is quite good, though I don't think Antonio would be a convincing Brit. I do agree that Melanie comes off as a dingbat most of the time, but in Working Girl, she was PERFECT. I watched the movie again last week and it still holds up well. I think it will be one of those timeless classics.
How I love Antonio in Law of Desire....
"What can you expect from a bunch of seitan worshippers?" - Reginald Tresilian
I love sexy, swarthy, Latin men. Antonio has those smoldering eyes. Andy Garcia is another gorgeous Latin male. :=) Yes. the only bad thing about Antonio coming back to Broadway is that Melanie will want to do another show. Yikes......
"Life is not measured by the number
of breaths we take, but by moments
that take our breath away."
"Life isn't about how to survive the storm,
but how to dance in the rain."
have never been a big fan of Antonio, though I guess I'm in the minority and his WIFE drives me up a wall. Oh well, to each his or her own...that's what makes the world go round!
He was not greasy and sweaty. He was radiant! Fifth row center first time and mezz second time. What a pleasure the whole show was (and I had seen the 82 version).
Talk about great moments in theatre. Grand Canal was devastating
" ...the happiness in the tune convinces me that I'm not afraid."
I was shocked at how good he was, I mean I've loved him in movies, but I was suprised at his vocal ability to go with the stage presence. I'm hoping to be in New York starting next spring, so it'd be great to have the chance to see him live.
You, you are the worst thing to happen to musical theater since Andrew Lloyd Webber... and you I just don't like you.
