A Catered Affair: Means Well but. . .

Posted: 3/28/08 at 3:16pm

Last night's preview was packed. Not sure if it was sold out.

Not an easy show: ACA means well but the music is ultimately boring. All of the songs are recitative [?]; is this the correct term for songs that are "sung" dialogue? There is really not one moment in the show where you feel that a real song is about to be sung.

Tom Wopat is strong against a Mama Rose-ish Faith Prince. (Although no one in this Irish family has an Irish accent.) Nice Matt Cavenaugh is stuck with a dull role that makes him look like Clark Kent.

Some musical moments are nice but none make you feel anything. Is it the fault of the score? the small orchestra?

The show would be stronger without the music.

Do you know what happens when you let Veal Prince Orloff sit in an oven too long?

I always found Clark Kent sexy.

Is it true that Matt Cavenaugh has no solo song? Yeah.. that's what I heard (from demo & other's people) that the song are kinda dull and boring!

I am looking forward to see the show though..in May perhaps...

"The show would be stronger without the music."

I agree 100%! The score was so boring and I think that made the show worse.

Unfortunately, Cavenaugh does not have a solo song. if he did though, I'm sure it would be dull...

I agree. Too many ballads, not enough dramatic ACTION, too much sung dialogue.

And seriously, you cast Leslie Kritzer and Matt Cavenaugh and give them almost nothing to do? No.
