Every time I went back to see Chicago and Ms. Stifelman was conducting, which was almost always, the orchestra had no zest. It all felt slow and unexciting. It never felt the same as original musical director Rob Fisher. Whenever there was an alternate, I was glad.
So, as Mr. Loeffelholtz was allegedly told to "move on, it has been over 20 years", etc., perhaps it's time for others to move on. Rob Bowman will be a welcome relief.
