It was delightful! The score is now one of my favorites, and the singing was superb, especially from Baldwin, whose voice was ethereal! See it NOW if you haven't and are a lover of old-fashioned musiicals!
About time for you to go see this! The theatre was totally full? Wow. Finally the show is getting crowded. Although when I saw this, it was always very busy, but never full.

This show is true a gem. Kate is perfect for the role of Sharon. I'm also saddened to see this show go, but I got to see it twice, debating if I should come back for a last time... Jim, Cheyenne, Terri, and the entire cast is delightful.

I was in row F of the orchestra, at the very end of house left. It sounds like the view would be terrible, but the sightlines were great! If you saw a short guy with a gigantic bookbag, that was me. Yeah, I've been obsessed with her voice since I watched her sing Glocca Morra at the Sirius broadcast on Youtube, but I was totally NOT prepared for what I heard live. Seriously one of the top five best vocal performances I've ever seen/heard on the Broadway stage!
Bwaylv - Can't recall seeing you but who knows? Yeah, Kate sounds even MORE amazing live. It is quickly becoming an obsession.
This show is a true 'throwback' to the Golden Age (or close enough, at least) and leaves you with a warm & fuzzy feeling. It really is wonderful. Good luck to all involved with Finian's... wish I could be there on closing night!
I was there last night (1/12) and the house was very full too! I agree about Kate's voice... it's so unique. I really can't think of one other person that sounds like her.
Totally agree about everything said. Completely fell in love with this production/show from the moment it started. Gorgeous score. Gorgeous voices. Gorgeous everything. Sad to see it go but SO glad it got a cast recording.
And regarding Kate, LOVE her voice. Her solo cd is such a delight. Hopefully we see her more often, now.
