Featuring the subtle and restrained ... no, sorry, doesn't work. Featuring John Barrowman, who is shouty and melodramatic (which is just right for the character and the production) but not exactly acting. He does carry off the costumes well, though. And I warmed to him when he lost it a bit in the improv -- he was clearly having such fun.
Marvellous set: curiously asexual and wholesome, good clean fun (the lewdest thing is JB eating a croissant) despite the louche subject matter and the ultra-camp ambience.
