A couple of posts I have made in the past:
First, about the Kander and Ebb concert:
"But...IMO the best of the night was Rachel York. I'm a huge fan of hers to begin w/, I saw her in Dessa Rose and Ragtime at Papermill, loved her in those, but then got the Broadway Victor/Victoria tape and could not believe how much she stole that show, how great she was, and couldn't even believe it was the same person I saw! But tonight...for the last song of the night, she sang "As the World Goes Round." Wonderful singing and riffing and she opened up the second act w/ "Maybe This Time." Right up there w/ Liza. The woman was just...amazing(think I've overused that word, sorry). She received the first curtain call of the night. "
"I've seen Rachel York in Dessa Rose and Ragtime and she was great in the motherly, older roles but to see her as Norma in this was a hoot! She was great and soo different, it was 10 years ago but still, she's certainly climbing the charts as one of my favorite broadway actresses."
Also about the concert:
"Also, for those of you who watched the Victor/Victoria Greg tape, Rachel York who played umm...Norma was there. Now, I saw her in Dessa Rose and Ragtime thought she was great, but couldn't believe it was her, the same person on that tape b/c she was soo great in it! Well she was AMAZING tonight. Did Maybe This Time and brought the house down, was up there w/ Liza, got the first curtain call of the night...talked to after about what I posted she was sooo sweet...quickly becoming another one I'd fence hop for b/c she's soo talented..."
And in Nov listed her as like 10 of my fav bway ppl
And she's...gonna be Christine...in DRS...OMG
This is soo awesome!
Except I'm really excited and starting to get worried I may act a tad fangirlish at the stage door which I promised myself I would NEVER do at DRS...oh well
yaaaaaaaaaaay
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
