["I saw lennon last week I liked it but it was kinda hard to follow
what do u think"}
Hi Me3,
I think that "Lennon" might have been hard to follow for those theater goers who are unfamiliar with the life and music of John Lennon. Director Don Scardino (who admits to being a HUGE Beatles and Lennon fan forever,) remarked in an interview that he made the mistake of expecting everyone to know as much about John Lennon and the Beatles as he does.
I think this is the core problem with the book, which is what the creative team is currently working to remedy. I have been a huge Lennon and Beatles fan forever too, so I had no problem at all following along and I believe that I can say the same for the majority of the audience during the performances I attended.
The cast is unbelievably talented. Their performances are absolutely awesome. I have not heard anyone refute those facts. The creatvie team just needs to tweak the book so that even the most uninitiated can leave the Broadhurst with a clear understanding of John Lennon, his life, and his ideals.
