The story is familiar, but Jason Robert Brown’s vivacious score is rife with passion.
Both musicals underperformed in their original Broadway versions, running for a combined total of just 185 performances. The critical and popular success of 2023’s “Parade,” a limited engagement starring Ben Platt as a Jewish man confronting antisemitism and false accusations of murder in early-20th-century Georgia, served as something of a vindication of Brown’s artistic vision and certainly of his gorgeous score.
Although Francesca’s Neapolitan accent sounds at times as if it were cultivated in fields where shamrocks grow, Davie gives a sympathetic account of a woman forced for too long to narrow her romantic gaze. And Evans sensitively builds a portrait of a wanderer finally looking at life beyond a camera lens. He’s a Marlboro Man with a soul.
Robert and Francesca’s mutual seduction takes up all of Act 1 — a slow dance into Francesca’s bed while her earnest farmer husband, Bud , is off at a 4-H fair in Indiana with their antagonistic teenage kids . It plays out on Lee Savage’s runway set, a stage of wooden planks splitting the audience, bleachers-style, along both sides. At one end is Francesca’s kitchen, and at the other, the house of their eternally fussing neighbors, Charlie and nosy but reliable Marge .
