I agree it’s crucial to Jackie’s real character, but this production either didn’t know what to do with it or was handcuffed in how it could respond. QOV could have been a brilliant tragedy, but as it stands, cutting that moment is the only way to give her final number a chance at working. I sat there befuddled through her big number thinking, you don’t deserve to sing this. An audience going in blind may now see the ending as a victory for Jackie and Kristin, but for those in the know, it’s like a judge telling the jury to disregard that last statement and not consider it in their deliberations.

I appreciate the clever quip, but I’m looking for actual information ;)
