This will go down as one of the great recorded Broadway performances, much like *Sunday in the Park with George*, *Into the Woods* and *Passion*. I can't express how much I love this production, it might be my favorite production of a musical I've seen. There is just such a sense of joy throughout. The cast is pure perfection. I saw Laura Benanti's performance twice on Broadway and was overjoyed to see that the broadcast so adeptly captured what is one of the greatest musical comedy performances of my generation. Zachary Levi definitely has gotten funnier and looser from when I saw him in previews (he was wonderful then, too), and I do think he played it funnier last night than when I saw him last Friday--completely agree with Ljay that he is giving an old-fashioned musical theatre performance, and I love his chemistry with Benanti. They capture Hepburn and Tracy, Colbert and Gable, Barrymore and Lombard, without ever falling into imitations. Everyone is spectacular. And if Krakowski was perfect in previews, she has somehow gotten even better, finding laughs and pathos and sexiness in Ilona. I think her rendition of "A Trip to the Library" should be taught in musical theatre classes, the woman is a genius.
Congratulations to Scott Ellis, the cast, the creative team, the Roundabout Theatre, and Broadway HD for making this happen!
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
oh well. hope everyone else has better luck.
