Wow she's fantastic!!!! I really like her but I don't always know what to think because sometimes she sounds amazing ( like now ) but other times she doesn't sound...well...as good... :S
Karen Olivo is my favorite new broadway star. Even since I heard her in In the Heights she blew me away and even more so in West Side Story. Bravo Karen, you're inspiring and were born to do this.
I think Karen brings her originality to this role and it's intriguing, however, i think she misses the mark on dance... there are numerous moments in this clip alone where she is not executing the choreography to the maximum like the ensemble girls. That being said, I'm sure she will win the Tony, her reviews have been outstanding.
THIS is what Broadway is supposed to be like! . forget the tv shows & b-movies as musicals ideas. Favorite show, favorite song from it. What a rousing performance! Broadway needed this!
i love karen olivo. i saw the revival 2 days ago.maria was horrible. karen olivo was the only good person.she stole the show and got a standing ovation!
This is my favourite song so far in the book. Of course, we're only on act one, but I really like this one over the rest of the ones so far. They performed really well.
I saw the show on april 2, it was AWESOME! i can't wait for the cd to come out, they were selling the soundtrack there (i think of the revival) and i regret not buying it... :..(
Did he ask her anything before the end of the show? I'm really excited for Karen - good reviews, Tony talk, getting on Letterman. I can't wait to see the show.
