Knightley and Outhwaite Heat Up London’s Winter
NYTimes.com: "With this city all a-shiver from a crippling cold snap — “the big freeze,” as the tabloids call it — it only made sense to visit two of the hottest women in town. So on Saturday I made my way through desultory snow flurries to the West End to see the young movie star Keira Knightley playing a young movie star, and then across the Thames to the Menier Chocolate Factory in Southwark, where the seasoned song-and-dance gal Tamzin Outhwaite was portraying a seasoned dance hall hostess."

It's so hard it seems for movie actors to transition to the stage. That or stage critics are highly critical of movie actors in theatre. (Or perhaps is slightly both.) I don't think this production is weak from Knightley's performance, but probably the desire to "modernize" the show. As Joe Pino has stated, if it has to be made modern to be relevant its not really relevant.
