"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Wow actually being mentioned in a post, I'm starting to finally feeling welcome here 
It's a very small performance space at Live. Tempo was a bit slow, yes. It was modification to fit the performance space.
I absolutely hate those male dancers' costumes. Yuck. 
Ah, those 1970's.

- Terra is good, but I've never been blown away by her. In terms of vocals, she is one of the weaker Velmas. But she is a great dancer with great stage presence. At this point, I would think Amra, Terra, and Brenda Braxton have done the most peformances as Velma on Broadway. I find it interesting that they have never brought back "new Velmas" like Luba Mason, Nancy Lemenager, Bahiyah Hibah, and Nikka Graff Lanzarone. The role really needs more variety on Broadway.
