Posted: 2/23/05 at 9:13pmSydney (Brian D'Arcy James' character) gets bumped off at the end of the show.... basically because JJ (John Lithgow's character) wants him gone..... if I remember.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 2/23/05 at 9:56pmMany moments in the score were stunning. Some nice performances from the leads. The show itself however was a mess. Especially the use of the chorus as a greek chorus commenting on the action. At least one clunker in the score that should have been cut (the embarassing "Don't Look Now").

Posted: 2/23/05 at 9:57pmI saw the pre-broadway try out, and it was a good/solid show. The music is great, but the plot was kind of all over the place.

Posted: 2/23/05 at 9:59pmI do agree that "Don't Look Know" should have been cut. But songs like "For Susan", "What If" and "I Cannot Hear The City" are terrific. The performances are great: what John Lithgow lacks in singing he makes up in impeccable acting. Brian D'Arcy James and, especially Kelli O'Hara, were ravishing. The cast album is definitely worth buying.
