I think you're in the majority.
He's fantastic!

Posted: 6/12/07 at 3:57pmI guess I'm in the minority as well, but I think this could be brilliant. Look at the work he's done on Sweeney and Company, and look at what he can get out of the actors. It's amazing...I'd see anything he directs.

Posted: 6/12/07 at 6:51pmI also think that this has the potential to be brilliant, but I am getting tired of the instruments. It sometimes works, but I think that forcing actors to be quadruple threats generally takes away from their performances.

I am waiting for Miss Saigon by John Doyle
Imagine guys getting into the helicopter carrying their instruments

Don't be silly!
It wouldn't be a helicopter, it'd be a chair on a box. Or something. :3
Am SO pleased to see I'm not the only person who appreciates Doyle for the amazing performances he gets out of his casts. :)
