Wanted to briefly weigh in.

Foster never quite fully inhabits a character -- which is why he's good in camp, but bad in shows like this.

Chase acted the role beautifully, but his singing lacked line.

Diaz was brilliance. She has an amazing control over her body and her voice was perfect for the role. Astonishingly great performance.

Lighting, set, and costumes were uniformly good, as was the staging/choreo.

Will and Hunter look anything BUT Latin.

They could certainly pass for Argentine, especially in Buenos Aires, which is much more culturally diverse than the rest of the country (and most of South America). My parents lived there for 5 years and I was surprised how many people did not appear "Latin" to me. And in Buenos Aires, they really consider themselves more "European". It's really a different world from the rest of South America.

I don't remember a big issue about William Hurt not appearing "Latin" when he won the Oscar, or Brent Carver when he won the Tony, but I could be mistaken.

The show was lit so darkly it was hard to tell at times which was singing (much less what they looked like) so it doesn't really matter.
