I saw the show at matinee this Saturday. I thought it was wonderful and I got to meet the entire cast afterward bar a few.
Unfortunately Michael Cumpsty was out at the performance I saw. Now I must ask: How did he portray Jules? Because Andrew Varela chose to play him as haughty, cold, and uninterested in everything. He seemed like he did not want to be onstage when he was speaking and seemed to find the actions around him to be a big joke. As one who has played Jules/Bob Greenberg in this production, I must say he was the one disappointment I had in the entire production, which was marvelous.
So please tell me Michael Cumpsty was better.
