The Opera House, Boston, MA
Seats: Row E, Center Orchestra on the house right aisle
I won't write a whole new review, as, honestly, I have many of the same thoughts as last time, except the following.
Paige Pardy, from the mezzanine, was just average. Nothing spectacular, but nothing bad, either. When sitting in a spot where you can see facial expressions and her dancing prowess, she is truly a scene-stealer, which is absolutely necessary in the role of Jolene, given her amount of stage time. From the second she first opened her mouth (which was immediately, as she chewed her gum quite loudly and with a wide open mouth), she was hilarious. She has this part down, and looks to be having a great time.
Again, I must also mention Laura Marie Duncan. Her performance is even more special up close. Her final riff, while gorgeous last week, was even more stunning this week, as her family was in the audience.
If this tour comes your way, make a point to go and catch it! It's a tremendous show, sidesplittingly funny in every way possible.
