Jo Lambert is mesmerizing in the title role of "Joan of Arc" at the Public Theater.  Her supporting cast is also fine and there is some terrific music in the score.  But none of this can lessen the fact that the show itself is beyond absurd.  This production leads one to question whether "Joan" can be effectively musicalized in this day and age.
