"And I think the female singer was simply used for scene transitions- not for much purpose except they didnt have a curtain and they didnt necessarily want you watching all the actors move set pieces around."
I think the singing served more of a purpose than that. It had a very chilling effect on me. I remember that last transition she sang was somethign about being a lost soul "trying to make heaven my home," and I think it served as a brilliant transition into the fials scenes.
The sexual tension works. I can't say enough that anyone who's seen this or read this play should see the movie. Right off the bat, I felt a very different chemistry between Stanley and Blanche. And my god...Vivien Leigh.
I love this play.
