Re: Broadway songs sung with very little vibrato
inlovewithjerryherman said: "I recall reading somewhere that Marvin Hamlisch specifically sought out singers for"They're Playing Our Song" that were entirely straight tone, because of his distaste of vibrato. And that's evident on the cast recording (both London and Broadway). Fascinating listen with that in mind."This is true, if you listen to the cast recording you'll find it's barely there.

Re: Why was Bernadette Peters considered an ill fit for Gypsy?
Soaring29 said: "I mean, Merman didn’t win. But I think Blaxxhas a point."Merman was directed by Jerome Robbins. Only Laurents' directed Roses have won a Tony.
Re: Why was Bernadette Peters considered an ill fit for Gypsy?
The Laurents' presence also casts a heavy shadow over Gypsy. The Roses that have been universally praised, Tony included, were directed by him.Will someone ever win a Tony for the part that was not directed by the author?

Re: We need another Gypsy revival
Soaring29 said: "She was great in Violet."No, she was adequate. She would need to do a lot of different genres before she can tackle Rose without looking like a bad Carol Burnett impersonation.

Re: Sweet Charity with Ariana DeBose being workshopped
Daisy Crumpler said: "ACL2006 said: "It's shocking DeBose hasn't gotten back into theater or Broadway. Surprised she hasn't tried to play Velma on Broadway or returned to Hamilton."There were rumors persisting DeBose and Schmigadoonco-star Jane Krakowski were going to re-open CHICAGO after the pandemic. Not sure if it was just online gossip, but I know a few people who purchased tickets before the casting announcement in the hopes/anticipation.Speaking ofSchmigadoon, it's interesting (or typi...
Re: Sweet Charity with Ariana DeBose being workshopped
Fred Mason said: "She also workshopped Kiss of the Spiderwoman a few years ago, I wonder if she could be doing it at City Center, is it the same creative team that did the workshop?"She may be a much better fit for Aurora than Charity, yet she lacks the terrifying presence that is also needed for parts of the show.She needs much more experience to tackle more complex roles.
Re: We need another Gypsy revival
FolliesCabaret said: "The next Rose will undoubtedly be Sutton Foster, and she will be fantastic and I will see it 27 times, but I long to live in a world where it's Annaleigh Ashford or Amber Gray."That's a terrible role for her. She's never proven herself a hit in dramatic roles.

GiantsInTheSky2 said: "It’s interestingthat people saying she didn’t deserve her Oscar haven’t followed up with who they think should have won that year.Seriously, look at that lineup. There really isn’t much competition to argue for. The rest of the films and performances nominated were fine but forgettable."The thing is that winning an Oscar doesn't make you a fit for any role that comes your way. She didn't become a more versatile performer when she won.
Re: Sweet Charity with Ariana DeBose being workshopped
Kad said: "altonido said: "I'd prefer to see Jasmine Amy Rogers as Charity."Now there's a bonafide triple threat. She would be perfect."Definitely, DeBose is the anti-Charity, nothing about the role is right for her.
Re: Jonathan Bailey and Ariana Grande in SITPWG?
Bet the production doesn't happen at all. Bailey is not a great choice for the role to begin with.
