by Bert54 on 3/1/11Ralph Freud Playhouse - Los AngelesWhat a wonderful show! The voices, acting and choreography were excellent. The score is sheer magic. The actress portraying Gigi was wonderful and absolutely perfect for the part! The parts of Madame Alvarez and Honore were likewise beautifully portrayed (by surprisingly recognizable actors!) I frequently attend Broadway shows and felt the quality of Gigi (in spite of the limitations of the small stage) rivaled some of the finest I've seen.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Gigi - Musical Theater History
by TheaterKinder on 2/24/11Ralph Freud Playhouse - Los AngelesI was fortunate to see the 1973 production of Gigi in both San Francisco and Los Angeles, and this Gigi is a lovely scaled-down version. The simplicity allows the characters and story to be more sympathetic and charming. The 1973 production was quite lavish with very large production numbers. Some numbers may be lost forever, such as I Don't Understand the Parisians, and the complex gossip scene (Da Da Da) that occurred at Maxim's before She's Not Thinking of Me, although the music may remain excerpted in the overture and entr'acte. Also lost (perhaps in the interest of time) is the fesitivity and parade of characters of I Never Want to Go Home Again. Alan Lerner's mid-run alterations are kept, such as the less distressing ending that allows Gigi to keep her composure. This production also puts back in a revised version of the hilarious telephone scene that Lerner altered more than once during the run. Other logical changes in Act II are the reversal of I'm Glad I'm Not Young Anymore and In This Wide, Wide World, as well as allowing Gaston to reprise Gigi, which makes him more sympathetic. The 1973 Gigi was quietly influential (for one example, compare The Contract to Phantom's Notes/Prima Donna). It is nice to see such a thoughtful version of musical theater history.
