THEATER REVIEW: IMAGINARY FRIENDS * * * (3 stars out of 4).
External link:
This soon-to-close musical about the real-life literary feud between Mary McCarthy and Lillian Hellman was quite entertaining. It was funny and smart and witty and sometimes powerful. I don't think it should have been a musical, though. The play is somewhat surreal, and the music lends to that surrealism, yet it also distracts from the flow of the story, I think. Plus, the music didn't blow me away at all, except for one haunting song about the McCarthy hearings.
This is The Official Record.
