Notes: Excellent capture of Uma’s debut as Pi, making her the first woman to play the role on Broadway! Richard Parker’s gender was also changed to female to match her. Only some heads visible on the bottom and block off almost no action. Minimal wandering and unfocusing throughout. Includes curtain call.
Overall Quality: A
