So Lupone is only a union member when she's active on Broadway? Thats a common and selfish approach to membership. I admire her performing skills but there is ALWAYS an element of grievance about her. Since forever.
The moral of the story/ endeavor... 2nd or 3rd bananas( gasp ) should know their limitations. Miss Marmelstein became Fanny on the back of 2 very special vocal chords( plus courage brains and soul ) and a bit of the wonderful Alan Miller. See... this thing was SPECIFIC to Streisand. Revive it with inferior talent...good luck. I see this closing mid summer.
