Clear But Cold

Richard Ouzonian says that the London Lord of the Rings is both better and worse than its aborted Toronto run last summer. “What has the show gained since its run in Toronto? A more effective use of its sets and lighting, a clearer storyline in Act III and a smashing performance from Laura Michelle Kelly as Galadriel. What has it lost? About 20 minutes of its running time and almost all of its heart.”
