“Flat-out hilarious… dominated”
The 2021Broadway revival – which swapped the lead performer’s gender from male to female – won five more Tonys, including one for Best Revival of a Musical…it is lyric-heavy with some tricky music, but everyone handles it very well.
“Some of the vignettes are flat-out hilarious. The first features Sarah (Kathryn Allison) and Larry (Derrick Davis). Sarah’s very controlling, correcting just about everything Larry has to say. Larry has a drinking problem, while Sarah must marshal her willpower to avoid eating the brownie she offers to Bobbie. Their scene is dominated by Sarah demonstrating her jiu jitsu skills on Larry.”
