Praising with faint damnation.
Last night I went to see Porgy and Bess, which was nice enough. The singing was great, mostly. The acting was operatic. The music was spoiled by the speakers. The sets were well designed but not well used. The costumes were adequate. The lighting was poor. The directing was quite awkward. Overall it wasn't awful but you have to come up with your own reason to go because I'm not recommending it.

Yes, I saw it several years ago, and the story does not hang together very well. I might call it song porn. The plot is only there to losely connect the singing.
