Some of your critique is on the money, particularly re: Mitchell Winter (“when he should be exulting in his sung soliloquoies, he sounds instead like he’s lecturing the unappreciative,”) and I must say when I saw the show I thought the timing of the singing (not to mention pitch) was too often way off. But I can’t help but think that one problem you had with the production is that you just don’t like the show very much, which is unfair, in a way, to dump on Heard.
As you know, I am a big fan of the show. The score is delicate and haunting, among the most beautiful in musical theater — and in tune (pardon the pun) with its subject, something disproportionately lacking in most contemporary musicals with high ambitions (Pop comes to mind, and February House).
So, given your disdain for SitPwG, I think you do Heard a disservice. There were elements of his vision that I found inventive. The rake as canvas was a nice touch, for example, and the open set, with the stage hands visible as they worked the backdrops, was somehow warming and inviting, among a few other minor touches that I appreciated.
This is a really tough show to pull off. Georges is all internal — and if you don’t bring a certain vitality to the characters the show easily falls flat.
That said, I saw the Broadway revival a few years back, in a heralded transfer from the West End, and that production was all tech and no humanity, with near affectless acting, and really self-conscious use of projections. I’d go see Yale’s again over that travesty any day — all while waiting for a great, truly inspired production to come along. I wish Heard had figured out a way to mount it at the Cabaret (where I saw the single best production of Assassins ever) instead, but I’ll take what I can get.
