What a gorgeous score/recording. I unfortunately didnt get to see the production. I am curious to know how Dusoleil was transported from place to place on stage? e.g 'Dusoleil's Revenge'
Errico, Gets and the entire cast are splendid. Anyone see the show? Care to comment?

Posted: 2/24/05 at 1:20pmOf course "Amour" has a special place in my heart. Saw it 10 times on Broadway and am listening to the cast album right now. Melissa's finest performance, without a doubt. This summer, Goodspeed is going to produce a new, reconceived version of the show. Tickets go on sale to non-members some time in March.

Posted: 2/24/05 at 1:52pmI really have no idea. The music is lovely. Every performer was excellent. Maybe it was too French for an American audience. Plus, it wasn't a big spectacle, which is usually what tourists (the backbone of Broadway) usually want to see. It still boggles me. I hope that it is eventually revived and given the credit that it deserves.

I caught the closing performance (a matinee). It was one of the most perfect jewells of a show I had ever seen in thirty years of theatergoing. I left the theater very angry, at the critics who "damned it with faint praise", at the audiences who were not brave enough to take a chance on an unknown entity, and (especially) myself for only seeing it once. One of the funniest shows I have ever seen. Great cast!
Just my opinion, I may be wrong.
