is sweet and kind and not much else. Lucie, the daughter who can save her father with love and who shares in a tragic romantic love triangle, is played by Brandi Burkhardt. She has a few trilling melodies and some lovely gowns. Her lover, Charles Darnay, was played by Michael Halling at this performance, is brave and strong and good. But none of these characters inspire true sympathy, or true outrage, which were the two most compelling emotions motivated by the book.
During every moment, throughout every song, it is painfully obvious how hard this musical is trying. Sadly, the intense, almost brutal, sincerity of the show is not enough to redeem it. Those looking for a revolution should go to another city.
