...problems there are. The Kirkland JCR stage was apparently designed by an AT&T engineer who, having done his best for the world of telephone booths, decided to grace the world of theater; perhaps a troupe of leprechauns could work a dance number in there, but normal human beings have noticeable difficulties. The same holds true for the rest of the scenes: it is simply impossible to fit more than four people comfortably on that platform, which can only hurt a musical such as this, relying as it does on a large cast.

Communicating through interpreters, he seems to have established an intuitive rapport with the cast. The actors get under the skin of an alien culture and, with seamless ensemble work, translate Russian characters and responses in supple body English...
