One of the most interesting things about this musical is how many directions you could take with it. I mean, compare this to the 2006 revival of the song! It's so different! Also- my God, can that man dance, and.... Wow, Bobby is a crack addict in this one? I guess it makes sense, coming from the guy who did American Beauty.

Great in this, and equally if not better in Hustle!

@claudgaged HAHAHA

i thought it was just a strange reason to explain his nasally singing voice .

@wampabutt I agree. Trying too hard. The coke use isn't completely ridiculous, but to make the whole number a coke-induced fever dream is too much. It lacks subtext and a point of view to me.

Wow. Robert is amazing!

oh - and whoever gave me a thumbs down can put it right up their TUSH instead.
sorry...I THINK Lester was the only one who pulled it off

I like a lot of Sam Mendes' ideas for this production but I think Adrian Lester is the ONLY actor who actually implements them to positive affect in the show with a fresh and gritty approach to Bobby. I THINK Mendes was going for creating characters who were singing because they so badly needed to express their emotions, so they didn't need good voices but could be good "singers". However, part of being a good singer is communication and I don't think Lester was the only one who pulled it off.
