Porgy and Bess

Last night I had the privilege of seeing Porgy and Bess at the Richard Rodgers Theater and it was superb...which is a word I associate exclusively with my grandmother and one that I do not think I have ever used in my entire life until now, but for some reason in this moment it feels necessary. Anyway, I firmly believe that there is no person who wouldn't, at least on some level, enjoy this production.

Audra McDonald (as Bess) is a master of complex facial expressions, not to mention her hardly-believable vocal talent. This role was made for her; or was she made for the role?
