Starts out slow...but slowly builds. The interplay of the characters is simply fantastic. The overall theme of LIFE AS A DANCE......is just exquisite and insightful. Still looking for a copy of this version, meaning with Mathew in the play. He was in Seattle for the live production. Saw it with Dan, a friend. We were so moved we saw it again the next matinee. The actors came out and chatted. They talked about many scenes but especially powerful was the 'spit' scene. During the rehearsals the actual spot was held back.....but at some late rehearsal it became real. For the actors and the crew that was a large moment...transition......sort of brought up the race issue we had right then in real time. It was quite a riveting live play AND discussion with the actors. Wish that production had been filmed. I do have a dvd of the one available on Amazon. Have had it for maybe 10 years. Can't seem to open it...watch it. Afraid it won't be a POWERFUL as my original experience. I will update with a review of that other version when I watch it.
If anyone knows where I can obtain a copy of these actors on DVD. I read that Danny Glover was on ¿Broadway? In it. Thanks, Brogan from Seattle.
