I've only seen clips of the original cast. Why was the acting so presentational? I know it's musical theater versus realistic acting, and it has to play to the back of the house, AND it is Disney...but I've seen clips of other Broadway musicals and the acting/movement didn't seem as large.
It is pretty odd that she milks her roles as Belle and Meg, and only does Broadway Princess Party now. Was she really hampered by that whole Scott Eckern incident?
