The show was "Annie, Get Your Gun!" and the night was balmy and warm. Well, muggy and warm anyway. In the best of SVU tradition, something unspeakably awkard happened onstage that the cast handled perfectly. Despite the valiant efforts of the Technical Director/Rigger, a small-ish piece of flown scenery fell behind the actors on stage. Right int he middle of the show. To the actor's credit, not a single one of them broke character or acknowledged the incident, thereby allowing the house to stay at ease and to continue enjoying the show, regardless of technical difficulties. Three Cheers to the cast and crew! Huzzah! Hurrah! Exuberance!
Despite technical difficulties, the show went well, I thought. The mics are always bad, the orchestra is always a little loud, but despite these usual hurdles the cast met them adequately, if not spectacularly. Favorite Scene: the second Shooting Matche between Annie and Frank, including the song, "Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)". Annie was a joy to watch and Frank was great to hear. Kudos to you both for a solid performance.
In my humble opinion, though it may not be the best SVU has ever done, it is certainly good and definatly worth seeing!
It seems you CAN get a man with a gun...
