...normal man rather than one who was old and deaf. Perhaps the fact that Gabrial has so many speeches--which could possibly be read as internal monologues--led them to this. At any rate, Dobal comes across as exactly what he is--a 20-year-old actor with silver paint in his hair. He doesn't convey enough of the decrepitude or pathos inherent in Gabriel's character.

Ravenal does not try to paint subtle portraits of five women's lives. Rather she follows the same pattern she set in last year's Riches (from which she has drawn several songs for Children) of presenting stereotypes, who work their way through what is essentially a musical revue of women's experiences, rather than rounded characters.
