I had the privilege to work with THE Lillias White. ( I was on the stage managed prod team) She is a star in every sense of the word. Talented..funny and so down to earth. I always told her..if I had her voice for one day.....!! Hmph !
@commonman80 bear in mind that this WASN'T for an official production of funny girl, it was for the actors benefit fund, so she probably would've been cast BECAUSE she is Lillias White, and she would probably have been told to perform it more as Lillias, as opposed to as Fanny Brice.
The acting mimicked Barbara, She could have used the stage and the other actors more. The dress Shows way to much flesh. The goose neck movement was not used by Black women during the period of the play. The singing however, was Original and showed some thought and creativity. I think the part was mis-casted. I don't find her as believable in the part. But she is very talented.
:D meravigliosa
