. but the trouble of this production be that it very far from a good musical . grant and one can not always expect the witty master like sondheim or bernstein or porter while yet the music of this piece make even andrew lloyd webber look witty . it deadly dull and uninventive ( with one or two exception ) and just after i watch it i couldn not recall a single significant melody which be rather tragic come from someone who learn the whole another hundred people from three listening . it be also strangely un theatrical . it take place on an incredibly large stage ( one really have to feel sorry for those people in front row who break their neck in order to see something happen 50 meter on the right or 100 meter on the left ) and do absolutely nothing with it . when there suppose to be one person sing on stage and that just what you get and the rest of the enormeous stage be empty . for me a an aspiring theatre director it be almost painful to watch . the fact remain and cole porter seem to have capture the french culture in his work well than these no talent can ever come close to . and i be puzzle by the popularity of this would be legendary musical .
