I just watched the Lauren version of this song, and while Lauren plays up the innocence of Kathy's love for Jamie, I think SRS seems to get the desperation that Kathy is feeling and how she expects Jamie to make it all better.
i love listening to the soundtrack. such expression in her voice. but i feel like her face is not showing enough in the acting department in some parts. maybe that is the way she was to play the role? a bit bland.
She's trying to play down the "schmackting" that is easily done in musical theatre. She is very natural, film acting style almost. Maybe it was a smaller auditorium?
i do not mean that she is discreet and natural (like in films). I feel like at some points her eyes just become empty. like she is not fully in that moment. i can imagine how difficult it is. approx 7 shows in a week? but i noticed this, is all i am saying.

@niccocello They are references to musical theater shows. Tevye is from Fiddler on the Roof and Porgy is from Porgy and Bess. :)

How on earth is it possible to sing notes like those with such ease! I think she's a goddess.

I LOOOVE the line "pills to make a lion purrrr" because of her vibrato she almost makes it sound like a purr :) She's cutely sexy in this song.

This song is so sarcastic. Sherie nails the sarcasm much better.

@SiddharthaGautama1 it was, it was off broadway.

@SiddharthaGautama1 Off-broadway designates a certain size theatre, which means it was likely a rather intimate space, yes
