The direction of this production is a mess.

I love Marin's current costume. It looks stunning on her.

Honestly, I've seen better high school productions.

The timing seems off, the singing isn't pure and the costumes and overall production are just all over the place.

I *hope* it plays better in person!

Although the costume is a wreck, Bobby Steggart (sp?) as Mordred is very good. And was that Fran's only part?

btw, i am on the east coast, so it's puzzling as this is a live show??

Marin Mazzie is NOT singing flat! I realize it's the same idiot who keeps on saying so, but just for others to know!

It's mostly wonderful, EXCEPT for Byrne's total inability to sing. He is acting great in the role, but he needs to sing!

Love Nathan Gunn's Sir Lancelot!!

This truly is one of my all-time favorite scores!

The staging has been wonderful, but I haven't seen Mordred or Morgan yet; seems you are somehow an hour a head, despite my being in the same time zone!! (??)

Completely baffled by all the bitchy comments...

Just my opinion. And my ears.

Wait, I'm unfamiliar with the show. Is the boy not supposed to be a little Middle Eastern sex slave, as so portrayed?

No, it was where it always is, at the beginning of the 2nd act.

This whole production is so Misguided-literally! It's all over the place-from the costumes, to the scenery, to the acting, to the singing. What a mess. I like Marin and Nathan Gunn. Stacy Keach was awesome, Chris Lloyd was good. But this was pretty much awfully put together. What a joke.

Other than that, did you enjoy the play Mrs Lincoln?

It's not ALWAYS there. The tour moved it after "I Loved You Once in Silence" and it was awesome.
