A brief tryout run at the American Repertory Theat<br />

er in Massachusetts last spring, however, allayed<br />

Mr. Hansard’s qualms. He recalled watching Ms. Mil<br />

ioti’s Girl telling Mr. Kazee’s Guy “to shape up,<br />

to live life, and everything would be all right” —<br />

moments that sent frissons through him.<br />

“The essence of the characters was still there,” Mr<br />

around me and gave me a big hug,” Mr. Kazee said.<br />

“He offered to tell me anything I wanted, anything<br />

about what he was thinking when he and Marketa wr<br />

ote the songs.<br />

“And who wouldn’t want that? Looking at the Mona L<br />

ld actually talk to da Vinci while looking at it?”<br />

e at rehearsal the other day. We were singing ‘Fal<br />

ling Slowly’ in this tiny little room, and they we<br />

re there watching us, and it was the first time th<br />

at everything felt truly right.”<br />
