World’s Greatest* Dad
Morgan Cranny—CCFM Pauline-Boutal Hall
Morgan is a talented and veteran performer whom I have loved in the past. He’s warm and likeable. The problem is the dissonance between what I expected and what I saw tonight. As the author, he should know his lines. He admitted this failure himself. He excused himself by saying he hadn’t performed it since 2015. That shouldn’t be the audience’s problem. Many sentences had the words reversed. We knew what he meant; but that wasn’t what was said. Having to rely on the teleprompter and still repeating was disappointing.
The bones are here. The play has a charming and relatable premise. His ‘dad joke‘ about Tarzan was hilarious! The problem was that the only ones really laughing consistently were his friends and former director. I’m hoping that some serious rehearsal can bring this production up to what it can be quickly.
