Sad lyrics drowned out
by Ann on 3/4/24Thalia Mara Hall - JacksonHave loved watching JC many times. Excited for this version but sadly spent most of time unable to decipher lyrics as music sooo loud. Pity because the words are needed to understand the relationships, plot as very little interaction between main characters, the dance moves were mostly just aggressive jazz hands and jerks and felt incredibly rushed which left me (and other viewers based on comments leaving theater) feeling numb vs moved. It's such a great play, such a great script, it's hard to not love it but this version didn't do any of the actors justice nor respect the incredible importance of what was going on..I read some of these reviews after and saw it wasn't a venue issue since has been mentioned multiple times at other theaters. Thats too bad. At least it inspired me to watch the movie again to remember how good the lyrics are.
