I feel like the performances really elevated the revival of Porgy and Bess. Obviously the original material is fantastic, but the cut and paste job they did with the revival was not great. I saw the show twice and both times I walked away thinking I would like to see this cast perform the opera, or at least a different musical adaptation. They were all uniformly excellent, ensemble included, and the production was very well-sung. And I'm still in awe of Phillip Boykin's Crown, it was such a towering and frightening and powerful performance.
