Drunk in Love: Adam Guettel's musical is too quick to clean up its spills.

The article discusses the Broadway premiere of Adam Guettel's musical adaptation of the 1962 film "Days of Wine and Roses." The show, starring Kelli O'Hara and Brian d'Arcy James, tells the story of a couple's descent into alcoholism. While O'Hara and James deliver exceptional performances, the article criticizes the material for feeling constrained and didactic. The staging is also described as lacking in intensity and failing to fully embrace the voluptuousness of Guettel's songs. Despite these criticisms, the article acknowledges the personal significance of the show for the creators and the potential impact it may have on audience members struggling with addiction.
