I miss the sweater - Ann Margaret changing into the sweater in the movie is the hottest thing ever and gives a mediocre song a hint of burlesque interest. Left alone, the mediocrity of the song is much more apparent.
Okay... this is a very big opinon, but... Um... I'm sorry, this was so much better than the movie. I'm sorry. Her voice is amazing. She is really good. Now, I really want to be Kim. (:
And for all of you saying the prefomance wasn't, I wasn't watching. Just listening. I want the part, so I'm just listening for the voice. I liked hers:)
I don't know about you guys, but I just don't really like her as much. Just as rememberseptemer12 said, there's no charisma or special spark. she just seems to be going through the motions. she has a very pretty voice but i just didn't particularly like her performance in this number. it was kind of stagnant and not very exciting.
@drowsybrowser I know Allie personally, and she writes her own original music. She has turned DOWN having a disney career (it was offered to her) among other huge opportunities. I was with her the day she got 13 at Knotts Berry farm. She strives really hard to be taken seriously oin stage later as a singer-songwriter. She is far to talented for that! Her mom, kristen, and brother (jack) and sister (avery) keep her very grounded. She's a great singer, actress, and person, too! Never a sell out!
I saw this in NY late Oct 2009. Allie was phenomenal. I actually really, really like the fact they used a girl of just 14/15 (Allie turned 15 during the show's run) for this revival rather than Ann Margaret in the original film. To me she felt too old to be a teenager living at home with her parents! Allie's voice is so beautiful. Ann Margaret's voice really irritated me.
Think Allie is incredibly talented, pitch perfect & charismatic. Plus, she's only going to get better and better.
I think this girl did way better in 13. The songs fit her voice better. She could show off her belt and it all sounded better. I think she looks the part of kim and probably acts it well but the voice does not fit. Her head voice notes are not as powerful and sort of weaken her songs.
She has an amazing voice and I have complete faith in Allie's abilities as an actress, but I strongly agree with the reviews that say she was too young and innocent to play this role. For Kim's sexual awakening in "A Lot of Living to Do" it wasn't believable at all, because though her voice is great, it still hasn't matured fully and she still looks like a fourteen-year-old, which is normal, because she IS a fourteen-year-old (or she was at the time).
You know. People might hate me for this but even though she can sing this and it sounds good. There is no special spark. I don't feel anything. It's like she's singing without any feeling. I really think they could have cast someone with a lot more charisma.
@rememberseptember12 i don't really think it was suppose to be a BANG or SPARK kind of song. i do musical theatre and it's more of a cute song to fill in time.
but it's your job as a musical theatre actor to take songs like this with out much substance behind it and make it something more compelling than just a time filler.
@scr525 true but, it also comes down to directiing, and what she's been told to do, and if the the song isn't a big song, and she's been told to be sweet and cute, then well she can only do so much.
@rememberseptember12 YES. I agree. I am a professional musician and music teacher, and this girl has lovely voice and she's cute :) and I know of her broadway career....but, I don't think this particular performance is very impressive. Cute.. but, it's Broadway...should have some extra "pow" or [like you said] "spark" to it.
She sounds great but I think that more of a belt/pop sound suits her more that the more soprano-ey sound. This is good,but not amazing. I thought she was fantastinc in 13 though
This seems to be the only clip from the show on Youtube. I would love to see more - anything with Nolan Funk including the breakfast scene would be awesome!
lmao! omg seriously look up any performance of how lovely to be woman and kim changes her outfit and looks like a boy after. its supposed to be irony because shes singing about being a lovely woman but ends up looking manly.... its even written in the script haha.
@aasjb4ever I think joelmc905 meant that comment b/c he's/she's thinking of Ann-Margaret's performance of this song from the movie version of "Bye Bye Birdie."
@aasjb4ever no thats what most stage productions do. Kim changes into a baggy sweater and jeans and puts on a baseball cap (a typical boys outfit) while singing how "lovely" it is to final be a woman. get the joke? if not look up the ann-margret version
Allie is so talented. It amazes me that she can transform from insecure Patrice to confident Kim. I LOVE ALLIE!!<3
