Not quite, doc. Of course, the Willows itself is ambitious to tackle this Broadway hit. The lab set, by the way, earned spontaneous applause the night I attended the show. His presence is the lodestone that pulls the show together. Perhaps that's because it's not ashamed to wear its heart on its sleeve or rip it out and beat it to a pulp, figuratively speaking.
Some people love that sort of thing.
Others may find it all a bit much. This is one bloody Valentine that's deliciously entertaining.
