I think the accent is supposed to be a mixture of many. She says she's Russian, raised in Poland, was taken to Morocco, lived in Paris with Cunegonde...
i love this!!! this is my 1st favorite part of the whole play :) i love how the guys are slapping patti's butt and then they look at there hands like huh? where is it? i had to rewatch that a million times :) patti is hilarious :) and i love kristen face!! made me laugh so hard
That lift at the end looks like way too much fun! And I don't imagine the guy lifting her was too upset with where his head was, either... Anybody know his name, by the way? I like his voice.
I don't think it's Spanish...I'm sure I would recognise a Spanish one...plus, she says in the song she isn't Spanish, but that they should act like the natives, right?
@scebgProductions when she was in college she lost her voice completely from having her tonsils removed.....and had to be taught how to talk and sing all over again....her voice went up two octaves!

@AuroraOnVenice They say:
Old Lady: And, as his lips met mine, he gave the most heartfelt sigh . . .
Candide: A sigh?
Old Lady: He moaned, he muttered between his teeth and then, tears streaming from his eyes — they were blue — he spoke.
Candide: What did he say?
Old Lady: He said: How maddening at this moment to be a eunuch!

His singing voice is so different from his speaking voice, especially when he plays such a young part. It's hard to get used to.
