The new Broadway revival of 'Our Town' features a diverse cast and contemporary songs but lacks a connection that makes the classic resonate with modern audiences.
Despite the innovative staging and broader representation, the production falls short as the actors become trapped in nostalgia, losing the play's emotional depth.
The director's vision leads to an uninvolving experience; scenes oscillate between overacting and underacting, making it hard for viewers to connect to the characters.
By seating audience members onstage and having the cast mingle through the aisles, the revival amplifies its invitation to connect, yet ultimately falters in execution.
