I was there last night and I have to agree with the opinions thus far. It was stunning. Complimented by glorious singing and some of the most thrilling ballets in some time. It just worked. When it was meant to be joyous, it was. Thrilling, funny, emotional? It was was was.
Such a pleasure to hear Wilson sing again, god his voice is rich. And I agree with a previous poster, his warm naturalism played off the kooky Scots so well.
O’Hara was perfect. I mean, what other word is there? The singing was spine tingling and she imbued her Fiona with spirit, humor, and excess heart.
All the supporting players were great, especially Mandvi, who was a breath of fresh air. And the choreography! So emotional! I mean, damn. I wish this could just keep running. I would be back in a heartbeat to hear Wilson and O’Hara sing the climax of “Almost Like Being In Love” just one more time.
