  • wow... you guys are being rather harsh little theatre queens, aren't you? first, there are many things that all of them have done to make the songs their own. of course there will be moments that sound like the CD, it's the same songs! would you like it better if they just rewrote them all?? and the line about the accent sounding fake... really??? should they have cast a real, middle-age, jewish new yorker for the ONLY SONG SHE NEEDED THAT ACCENT??? come on people... they did great!

  • Well honestly, this really isn't meant to be a "pretty" song. If it were any other song than I would understand, but the character in this song is a bit hysterical. So the yelling here is totally appropriate.

  • Oh geez. The ending actually convinced me that she fell...

  • She didn't say fucking...

  • Shut up. She's great.

  • Lovely job. While I understand some of these comments about the pitchiness and the tempo, I find it in character. Plus it is such a hard song to sing! And I definitely give her props for the calling out to Murray - Whenever I sing a song with dialogue in it I'm bad at getting in character enough to be able to do that kind of dialogue without getting a little out of it.

    Great job.

  • great job except i have to say she did go in and out of the accent : / its true

  • Her voice is a little off and she only has the accent at certain points in the music which throws it way off. She also does musical theatre like things like with her hands at the end, Jason Robert Brown's stuff generally isn't like that, it's more real than musical theatre

  • It's called artistic license. They chose to make this song more dramatic than it is in the original. That's their interpretation. There's nothing wrong with that. I don't know why everyone is ragging her for yelling. That's just how she interpreted the character. Just because she doesn't choose to portray the character in the manner you're used to doesn't make her less of an actress, rather quite the opposite.

  • what happened with the lighting here?

  • I like this productiion of this show, but she needs help with this songs.This is all wrong. She is having some major timing issues. and her comedy is getting all lost in this. This song has ebb and flow she has a nice voice but neither ebb or flow and she forgot to make it soung pretty.
