(Although I thought Michael Cerveris and Alexander Gemignani were terrific.)<BR/><BR/>This was my first experience with Road Show and I really enjoyed it, for some of the reasons you mentioned. I like the way it explored the underside of the American Dream and Americans' capacity to remake ourselves over and over again and how the entrepreneurial spirit can be used for good or ill.<BR/><BR/>The duet between Addison and his lover is beautiful. I didn't realize that it had originally been written for a man and a woman! And I really liked the big production number with Wilson in New York. <BR/><BR/>Also, I loved the fact that Road Show is being performed in such an intimate space.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.com
