Oh, I totally get what you mean! I saw the show too, and I agree that the score was just beautiful—it really enveloped the whole experience. "Sun and Shade" and "Miro" were definitely highlights for me as well. Kelli O'Hara's performance was stunning, wasn't it? She brought such elegance and warmth to the stage, even with her pregnancy becoming more apparent. I felt similarly about Stephen Pasquale—he did a good job, but his character did come off a bit harsh at times. And yes, the storyline was pretty predictable, especially with Cathy's eventual departure. Despite that, I found myself really engaged, even without knowing much about the movie or the Sirk styled movies. Nancy Anderson's character did grate on me a bit too, though I understand her role in the story. And I totally agree about the maid—she seemed like she had more to offer, especially in her interactions with Cathy. As for the set, I see what you mean. It wasn't the most aesthetically pleasing, but it served its purpose well enough considering the space and budget constraints. Overall, I still thoroughly enjoyed the show despite its minor flaws. I also made a review comment about their Far From Heaven show in Boston MA with my daughter as a one of the character.

Intrigued that Kelli has played two Julianne Moore movie roles on stage, The Hours and Far from Heaven. She could keep going with this, lol.
