MaybeMaybeNot Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Did anyone see"Marie Christine"? I am curious what your thoughts were. I have loved the cast recording for years and was recently thinking about the show. The cast recording is such an incredible journey, witnessing this couple plummeting toward doom. But I also know how deceptive a great cast album can be, hiding dramatic imperfections and storytelling sloppiness that sabotage shows on stage. In my younger years, hearing Anthony Crivello as Dante . . . Wow. So incredibly sexy. It still is, though more "life" experience has watered down the effect. I have attached a few pictures of Crivello in the role for historic study. Marc in Calif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ BenjaminNicholas Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 By the time I saw Crivello live, he was sleepwalking through Phantom in Vegas. Would have loved to see him in his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when someone pays you an obscene amount of money to sit and watch a show, you sit there and watch the damned show. Even Phantom. In Vegas. With Crivello, who's enunciation made Patti LuPone look like a national spelling bee winner. mike carey and + nycman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcguy20 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I saw it. I left during intermission. I'm a huge Audra fan, but even that couldn't get me to stay. MaybeMaybeNot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point I may have left a show perhaps Jerry Lewis in Damn Yankees or A Anthony Perkins in Damn Yankees in summer Theater in Framingham gMassachusetts Redwine56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
