Starting Porgy and Bess. I have never seen the show before, except a visually lousy bootleg of the Audra McDonsld/Norm Lewis version.
I never saw the Broadway one at all, and that's on purpose.
Last night I watched the opening scene of the MET one, and I wasn't as put off as I'd expected to be. Without dropping spoilers... yes, there are subtle changes in how the scene is portrayed, but it wasn't a deal breaker. Yet. There's plenty of opportunity for that in all the coming scenes, so I shall proceed cautiously, peeking through my fingers. I'll probably take in the next couple of scenes late tonight, then more tomorrow.
