I've watched a bunch of performances of "Anything Goes" on You Tube & I think this one rocks! "Reno" has a voice to rival Patty - I wish I had pipes like that! Great, great, great!
I said she sings well, I had no intention of being "nasty" with any of my comments here. It amazes me how up in arms people get about a little bit of criticism.
This was so much fun and I don't agree with the negative comments here. To each his own. If you all superior then please post yourself performing better than this.
This is amazing I loved it. All the nasty comments. geez! The dancers are very young obviusly and where did they get all those boys who can tap? Reno is perfectly cast. Who wouldn't want to be compared to Patti Lupone it was a smart choice. The set is very nice as well. I can tell the pit isn't fully covered so parts are bad due to no fault of their own. Most theatres cant afford to hire all the musicians the scores call for from experience. Wish I could see the entire show please post more!
Omg...the orchestra sucks. And as for the dancing...well, I don't have room to talk. Its better than I can do. Although that's not saying much. Lol. I think the main thing this ensemble is missing though is the excitement and energy. Great voice on Reno.
I only compared her to Lupone because she's copying everything she did, and I didn't mean to completely single her out for her dancing quality. The entire group is lacking the energy that would have made the dancing seem better. Pace and energy are more important than knowing the steps by heart.
I agree with Spyler that she is obviously going for Patty Lupone's performance. Nonetheless, I think her singing ability is great and it's enough to make the bored dancing style forgivable.
Reno has a powerful voice, but her acting and dancing are more than a little off. I see no character in her.
All of this choreography is an attempt to copy the Broadway revival's (see Patti Lupone video at Tonys). She even puts the same emphasis on her words as Lupone. And besides me being picky, there's no pace, no energy!
well here to all you people who are takling crape ! i dont know this girl on this tape but do you guys sing its not that easy so if you dont know what your talking about,then shut up !
Are you suggesting that we overlook a poor performance because the performer worked hard??? Thank God for free speech. I think this Reno stinks. She is miscast. She would do better playing the mother role. Incidentally, the dancers are ok, much better than Reno.
given the proper attention she would rival the masterful and magestic ethel.....what do you suggest?(given ethel was given a go by the likes of zeigfeld and gershwin......you would condemn her?
Actually, choreography is NOT written in scripts. They have general stage directions yes, but dance numbers are up to the show's choreographer. But, in defense of the choreography, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! If it works well, why change it? Granted this isn't as great as the broadway version, but the dancers are really pretty good. And I don't know who that chick is but she has a really good voice.
Chorus is good for amateurs; Reno woman does not fit the part - her voice is acceptable, not spectacular; her dancing is off. Sorry, but I cannot in good conscience compliment mediocrity.
Thanks for this, I have to admit i'm not really an expert on Anything Goes I have no idea about the show, I just know the song from Sleuth. Sleuth is one of my favourite films and this reminds me of it. So thanks.
exact copy of the choreography and staging as 1988 Beaumont version, but with a less professional pit orchestra. Mad props to the actors and singers, no props to the choreographer. Where's the creativity?
Wow. This is really good. Where is this company located?? And I LOVE the fact that the sailor farthest stage left starts before everyone else at the end of the song. There truly is NOTHING as exciting as live theatre!
ive just got into this production. does everyone have to dance? because i cant...
