Loud and overplayed

I enjoyed the opportunity to see this live (filmed) production, as a movie simply can't compete with a staged version. That said, the characters were all very LOUD and mostly very overplayed. Rose was very one-note throughout, with very little depth or nuance. Neither Louise nor June had much personality, and Louise was much too old, especially in the scenes where she's supposed to be in her teens/20's.

The true stars of the show were the three strippers, Mazzepa (Louise Gold), Electra (Julie Legrand) and Tessie Tura (Anita Louise Combe), who were properly recognized by the audience. They obviously had a lot of fun, and I was pleased to see that these roles were all played by women over 50. Sorry, Rose, these ladies "got it" far more than you do.
