      A serviceable production, but certainly nothing to go out of your way for. It is 90% sword fights, and they are laughably choreographed. Apparently the fight choreographer thinks grunts and yells can substitute for actually teaching fencing, because these battles have more grunts than a Connors/Becker tennis match. At least the set doesn't get in the way this time, but it is still clunky, delaying the action while it moves slowly into place. When will Hale learn to rely more on acting and less on expensive technical prowess. Well, when you're spending Other People's Money... Bradford Garrison was excellent as the King, and Elise Groves as D'Artagnan's newly invented (and somewhat distracting) sister Sabine provides some intensity. Great costumes, excellent court dance, many of the elements of great theater. We all know the plot, so it was easy to follow, but there was just too much emphasis on noisy swashbuckling. Collapse
