I was very impressed with Kelli O’Hara for I had no idea she hadsuch sharp comedic skills. The setand costumes were top notch. I adore Rose Byrne but I had a difficult time understanding her. And as her character became more intoxicated she sounded like she was chewing on marbles. She desperately needed a stage acting coach to work with her on her diction. I was sitting up in the mezzanine house left, and the view was perfectly fine. But when actors would turn the opposite direction from me and speak, they were harder to understand and I couldn’t quite figure out why because they were miked. I shall call it the Vivian Beaumont syndrome because the exact same thing seems to happen there. I sat thesame distance from The Balusters stage ant MTC and I heard and understood every word. I also think given that the style of the play is farcical the actors could’ve cheated out more during conversations because the characters all had a dramatic flare to them. The women’s hairstyles tended to cover their faces rather easily so it seemed like another reason to do so.
I understood the men just fine. I think a better actor would’ve done more with the character that Mark Consuelos portrayed. I get the stunt casting but he wasn’t handling the subtext very well."
Basically second all of this. Was pleasantly surprised by Kelli and cracked up at Rose’s facial expressions even though some of her lines were garbled (even before she got drunk). Mark Consuelos is not good. Is he handsome? Sure. But he’s not suave or debonair. This is why he currently cohosts a show with his wife and hasn’t had many other acting gigs. Show was great, but I wish they chose someone else.
