Dot's not actually using a Cockney accent. She's using a Norther English accent. The two are very different. It's most obvious when she says "up", "come", and "from".

They performed this together at the BBC's Prom for Stephen Sondheim, Sondheim at 80, and it was completely amazing!

this sucks..

I'm sorry, but they are not better than the original cast. Bernadette Peters and Mandy Patinkin are both legends of the theatre, both at least partially due to this musical. They were flawless in their characterizations. These two have good voices, but the emotion of the song is nowhere near.

@carriewhite410 You have to keep in mind that both Jenna and Daniel tansferred over from the London production. They are both British

wonderful performance. Sondheim is brilliant.

@carriewhite410 I believe giving Dot a cockney accent was a deliberate character choice on Jenna Russell's part. It established her as a working class woman. I think, though, this choice probably didn't resonate as much with American audiences...

Better than the Broadway original. These two have a better vocal blend than Bernadette and Mandy.

They didn't do a bad job with the revival, but honestly, no one can beat Mandy and Bernadette, no exceptions. They made Dot sound cockney......and Mandy is probably one of the best tenors in B'way.
