★★★
An absolute gut-punch of a finale. Stayed in the lobby for twenty minutes after curtain just talking it through with strangers.
Tight 95 minutes, no intermission, exactly the right length. Wish more shows knew when to stop.
Performances were sharp but the staging never quite settled into a rhythm — kept feeling like the second-act blocking belonged to a different show.
Solid revival, well-cast, well-directed, but I left wishing they'd taken bigger swings with the material instead of playing it safe.
Will be thinking about that ensemble number for weeks. Pure craft.
