Around the World in 80 Days
1142 Orange Avenue, Coronado, 92118
Lamb's Players had a "give it another week" opening night. The engine moved, but the gears needed oiling - and the threats to Phileas Fogg's intrepid adventure needed more danger. Director Robert Smyth devised some spectacular images (an elephant made from patterned cotton cloth, a "sledge" swinging in a snowstorm), but the end was never in doubt. Lance Arthur Smith made Fogg a deft cross between Sean Connery and a metronome, but his unflappable certainty diffuses potential crises. Jon Lorenz plays Inspector Fix in a comedic vein, always funny, but the cartooning poses no palpable threat. The cue-rich, intricately-demanding production opened October 13. It may have settled in by now.
Worth a try.
