Ben Platt and Micaela Diamond star in the revival of this musical about antisemitism in the Deep South.
grows in strength and clarity when the lyrics keys into Leo and Lucille’s connection and the chilling fantasies of the Old South. Uhry’s book, on the other hand, is stuffier and closer to earth, with the vigor of an AP U.S. History lesson: The first act is bound up in details of the trial, and the second in Lucille’s attempts to get governor John M. Slaton to commute his sentence.
By intermission, more than an hour into Arden’s nudging me about the show’s relevance, I was frustrated—but this is the rare musical that improves in its second act. Freer from just being a play-by-play of history, it begins to pursue insights about the texture of it: Frank’s feeling of being trapped, and his connection with Lucille reborn out of hardship. There’s a pageantry to its vision of the South that the score matches and examines, a know-thineenemy approach.
