Well, this sure looks like it is/was a camp fest; this is a 10 minute clip from Boston. (About 3 minutes of audio are edited out I guess due to music rights) It's pretty easy to see that Joan is definitely the "professional actor" on stage...

I think Joan Collins is still infinitely watchable in about almost anything. She can go from stage, tv, movies; whether it's the fluffy campy things like this, or the Carrie Fisher "Old Broads" or the nifty cameos like Potiphar in "Joseph/Dreamcoat". She did some nice work at 20th/Fox; she makes "The Girl In The Red Velvet Swing" playing Evelyn Nesbitt quite mesmerizing and sensuous, driving Ray Milland girl crazy, and the score for that movie is so very sexy too. In "Sea Wife" with Richard Burton...another great role.

And she remains a great Dame and humanitarian. It will be interesting to see her in the new American Horror Story: Apocalypse ; Jessica Lange, Billy Porter and the RM regulars. The trailer for that is typically gross...

I watched the clip that Steve provided.  I could only watch a minute or two.  Was it that awful in person?  Had I seen this live, I would of sat there in awe, because of who was on stage.  But if that clip represents the play, yeesh.

It was a fun play, not terrible at all, but definitely much more interesting due to the stars in it.

Several years ago I saw a production with two men in the leads in drag -- it allowed the flimsy script to be camped up even more -- it was an enjoyable night at the theatre.
