| The morning, there seem to be two camps: she's miscast because the vocal demands are out of sync with her gift; and, she needs a month to create a synergy between her legit instrument and her characterization. Both POVS have their merit. I recently heard her McDonald say that she'd read the script "hundreds of times," i.e., spent the entire summer in preparation. To leave her previous idea of Rose as "a monster." It's feasible that she arrived at rehearsals so immersed, so fully cognizant of the nooks and crannies, she needed to begin anew, to find the woman she's playing in the mysterious process of rehearsal. And so it's possible that she's straddling the results of months of preparation and the spontaneity of exploration with other actors. These will be rewarding previews: Tyne Daly got a whole road tour to find her Rose (I saw Daly both in LA and later on B'way, so I witnessed how much her performance grew); so it's perhaps cruel to subject the McDonald process to such home town scrutiny (though arguably, her niche audience is not on the road; it makes more economic sense to work here). I'm betting that a month from now she'll engender an entirely different set of responses. |
