So either that Youtube clip of Patti is so warped that it sounds higher than it actually is, or Patti sung it a half-step higher live than she did on the recording.

I agree, that clip seems a little warped, and maybe that's why it sounds a half step up?

Good to know about OBCR and Rachel are in the same key though! 

 

Forgive my ignorance or if this has already been asked, but does Zegler sing this in the original key? I was trying to compare LuPone clips and some bootleg snippets online, but I just don't have the ears for this sort of thing. 

I ask because somebody commented on one of the bootleg snippets that Zegler is singing in a lower key. But it sounds the same to me...

On the Premiere American Recording, LuPone sings that line in a lower register, but on stage, she sang it in the higher register, as is evident from the footage I've seen of the Broadway production. LuPone also sings it in the higher register for the production's television ads.

I'm glad Rachel is on the mend and will perform tonight.

What an interesting promo! Patti's look at the end is almost creepy. 

Sorry, I wasn't very clear about what I mean, but I'm talking about 2:15 in this video.

One night Zegler opted up like in this video and the other night I went (two days ago 7/23) she opted for the lower version. 

Even though this thread about the London revival, watching this video again reminds me that Patti's version is so thrilling! Her belt at 1:17 is incredible. 

Now that you mention it, I can't think of when she gets a break during the show. 

Hopefully a once weekly alternate will be the lesson for a Broadway transfer. Did Nicole have one at the Savoy? Or was that a Broadway thing?

Jordan Catalano said: "“Giant” is fantastic and absolutely worth catching."

Thanks to all who responded! Just got tickets. I was caught in indecision because I wasn't sure if I'd want to see My Master Builder, Totoro, or Oliver, as we only had room for one more show. But now looking forward to seeing Giant!

I guess I should see Giant? I see there are some tickets when I go. Anybody catch it at Royal Court?

I echo the appreciation of the completeness of the recording. It sounds so beautiful.

I also love the inclusion of the emotional punch of the finale “Do you think it’ll be okay?” with Oliver’s response “I hope so.” That left me gutted in the theatre. 

For people who had tickets for today 3/13, when did you get notification that the show was cancelled?

I want to go 3/14, but I'd rather buy a ticket to a show I know is going to go on. We're leaving Saturday, so I probably only have room for one more show. 

Thank you in advance!

Wanted to see if anybody had anything to add for recommendations for a London trip I'm taking 4/23-4/30? I will definitely look into the what was posted above!

So far, top of my list are the following. I probably will add 2 plays, just not sure yet which ones.

Totoro

Titanique 

Benjamin Button

I saw Here We Are, in NY so I probably will skip it in London.

Thank you in advance!

Ugh, it was my turn, and the link went to an error page, and now I have to reenter the queue.... You would think this wouldn't be so hard. 

Mine is off pause again. 

Now my queue page says 

"We're aware that a technical issue is preventing folks from purchasing tickets at the moment. We're incredibly sorry for the inconvenience, and our web team is actively working to resolve the issue."

I assume you mean row A in the orchestra? Having seen the show (but center orchestra farther back),  row A is too close because it will be tougher to fully appreciate the projections. Also there's a scene where Dez sing on a platform on top that will be tough to see, but that's just one small scene.

Overall, that row A seat will still be fine, unless you don't mind paying more to sit 6-10 rows back, which would be more ideal.

Gives you an idea from row C

I also choked up! 

I'm loving the 5 songs on the website (https://www.maybehappyending.com/). "World Within My Room" reminds of "The Beauty Is" from Light in the Piazza.

Wish they would put the songs on Spotify, so I didn't have to listen to them on the website.
