Once again I’ve managed to see only the final performance of a show. Such are the vagaries of not being a real critic, which its of no help to those of you who might actually be in interested in my opinion when deciding whether to see a show, why(?).  I swear I don’t do this on purpose, most of the time.

Anyway, Hunt was great. If I had seen him earlier in his run, I may well have gone back for an encore. He often displayed a rat-a-tat delivery unlike anything you’ve seen him do as Coach Beard on Ted Lasso and his timing was impeccable. Even when he spoke about serious things in his life, he didn’t dwell and found a way to create a rousing punchline without making you feel guilty about laughing, and there was a lot of laughing and smiling and head nodding and applause.

Word on the street is that the show may go to Broadway, wind up getting filmed and eventually make its way to a streaming service. I hope so.
