REVIEW: Star-Crossed: The Met’s Dialogues des Carmélites in HD (for Parterre Box)

Does this legendary production, seen in close-up, retain it’s greatness? Yes… and no.

Even the hit songs in this early Jule Styne musical would recede in a better show.

As a cohesive evening of music drama, this ambitious double bill doesn’t quite add up.

To resurrect this astonishing show at all in a brief time frame is almost miraculous.

A wonderful musical performance, hampered by a misguided production.

The sexiest moment on Broadway this season features a 73-year-old man and a single button.

At Classic Stage, this pallid imitation of Brecht & Weill meets a director with the same aesthetic.

Rodgers and Hart’s 1938 dance musical proves impossible to resuscitate.

Scott Ellis’s busy production puts Porter’s sublime musical between a rock and a hard place.

In their best moments, the mezzo and pianist Ted Sperling were near-ideal Bernstein-isti.
