I'm afraid when you've been given the original with Robert Morse and cast this falls flat. What's particularly problematic is the choreography meaning the positioning of the actors and the interaction. I'd do away with the briefcase as in the movie. This would allow Matthew to animate himself more to better illustrate his anxiety. Still, it's to be expected. It's the same circumstance when anyone attempts to perform Robert Preston's role in the Music Man.
@@MeyerD584 I'm responding only to add some chatter to an otherwise boring evening. I still think the use of the word choreography is appropriate. If you go back to what I said I suggested the elimination of the briefcase so that the actors could better interact and animate. It's these terms that are in accordance with the choreography.
A marvellous musical ; I was lucky enough to catch this very production in San Francisco in 1996 and it blew my mind.Thank you.
How wonderful! Didn’t know there was such a pristine video recording of this revival, my favorite one.
How appropriate - as always you have impeccable timing! Thank you for posting this Spiderwoman!
I caught it on Broadway in ‘96 while visiting from Australia, maybe I was in this audience??!!
awesome! I'm playing smitty in this show right now :)
Sing out Jessica!
Was just thinking the same thing. mumble mumble
She doesn’t have a show voice.
Victoria Clark! Talk about star Power, just by chewing gum she dominates the scene
And just like that. They were married.
Do you have Grand Old Ivy from this performance
That's not really in SJP range huh? Where was Megan?
Megan ended her run.
So this is how Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker met?
Actually, they had met quite some time before this, and got married shortly after this run.
@@auroraspiderwoman5886 That’s very sweet.

If you're talking about positioning of people during a scene, you're referring to blocking. Choreography would be positioning during dance.

Gosh I must be missing something this seems painfully humourless and dull. They're not even phoning it in.
There does seem to be a strange, complete, lack of energy.
Understated to the point of nonexistent.
