She sounds fine, but it does feel like a character voice to me and she was clearly a little nervous. She's got the ability to knock this out vocally and probably will once she's comfortable on the road.
Her Eva was superb. She sat on her voice a lot during that tour, but in the instances where she really let go, she could sing the living **** out of Evita.
Manilow's Vegas show was papered and discounted to the heavens.
Even then, you have to realize that the middle America contingent for LV is super strong.
His time has come and gone. People clearly don't want to see him at top dollar anymore. It's akin to the same ideology behind why Michael Feinsteins's shows always include a more major star next to him.
Honestly, society needs to just quit finding ways to feel uncomfortable and be offended.
The genius of Mel Brooks is that he goes for everyone. It's funny. It's humor. Laugh at yourself, as it's always being done as a caricature. The Producers (as well as his other films) is brilliant when done by a cast who knows how to sell the jokes.
I'm so tired of people making it about themselves when we should actually just sit there, appreciate the performance, stay quiet, clap when appropriate and leave at the end.
This does make me miss when male dancers were more lithe and lean. Their lines were better, their feet were better and they didn't all try to have gogo boy bodies.
Cohen is trenchant. A child does make him any more palatable.
Titus has talent and is serious about it. I respect that. While he should have known he was walking into a ****storm in the first place, that's no reason for Cohen to act like the turd he is.
Mike Barrett said: "Yep, I agree. At least this guy apologized though. If he apologized for what he did then you continue to bring it up it says more about you than the original offender in this situation."
If they had apologized BEFORE, knowing the situation was likely to happen, I'd have given someone a little more wiggle room.
I don't buy into the 'I'd rather apologize than ask permission' ideology. That's bull****.
Just turn your phone off. If you can't be untethered for 3 hours, you should either find a theatre that you can buy out a box or simply not go. It's not rocket science.
As for blood glucose monitoring: You don't have to use a phone to monitor. All models that can bluetooth to a phone can also bluetooth to a smaller, pager-like device that's a lot less noticeable, not as bright and will not accidentally ring when a phone call comes through.
I had some of the same loud audience members as well when I saw it.
While I didn't enjoy it, I kept quiet, clapped and then left when it was over. I found it funny watching people across from me, trying to stay awake and not get caught sleeping (as the audience is very well lit for a large portion of the show).
OOTI's audience was also quiet for me. I think there were a lot of TKTS folks there who ended up with the seat rather than coming in knowing anything about it. They did clap wildly for Alex Newell's vocal gymnastics, which while impressive, didn't make me feel the audience wanted to connect to the show otherwise.
OOTI is a show full of absolutely beautiful music and a sob-inducing ending. I was a mess, but a lot of the audience around me were checking thei
