The "disco" lighting has gone a step further, and now the lighting is such an essential character in the play, surrounding us and bringing us intimately into the folds of the story..wouldn't be surprised if the lighting gets a Tony (one of many, I predict). The choreography is deceptively simple..it helps to tell the story beneath the surface of these characters and captures the trembling hormones which threaten to break forth. I can see how someone seeing it for the first time would miss its understated elegance and impact. One of my friends, for instance, didn't even notice that the same movement was repeated throughout..he didn't remember there being any choreography at all at the top of the show ("Momma Who Bore Me"). Simon has not gone senile. This is definitely a show that gets deeper and deeper upon repeated viewings. I'm on my third!
