...started to study how great women characters had been written, and what I found that it came down to was letting every character—not just the women characters—have their private moments, where you could just be with them and see how they react to the world, and see their private joy and pain. Kate and Penélope both have this great ability to make you feel like you were watching them live a whole life, or say a whole huge speech, but really they were saying nothing, and you’re just watching...

And among the more curiously flawed scenes is the second act opener, “Bui Doi,” which occasionally feels like a Sally Struthers commercial and at other times like a revival meeting.
