AIDA Toni Braxton standby Question...

Half and half. Some songs stay low, others go back to the normal key.

awesome so seycon sings the score in Toni's key, or the orginal?

yah I read the post but "Some stay low, others go back to normal." isn't very specific, now is it?

Ok, WHICH songs are adjusted, and WHICH songs stay the same?

Really REALLY mic-ed up, lol

also, question, does saycon sengbloh have to wear a weave like Toni's or does she wear the normal hair style for "Aida" you know, short, with dreads.

oh, you saw her on tour, which meant she had to change and learn the score slightly differently when Toni came along, how sad. I feel for Saycon...

In the National Tour that I saw in Philly, Paulette Ivory had a whole head of hair (braided of course) which I couldn't tell if it was a wig/hairpiece or not. But then before the overture started, there was an announcement about how there was a talk back session after the show with the actors for anyone who wanted to stay (I've never heard of that for a Broadway show or tour but needless to say, we stayed) and moved down to the front row. And I saw for myself - - real hair.
OK... well... African American women certainly get extensions and braids etc... but her headshot was similar, so I'm guessing it was her choice. I guess as long as it looks ok, the Aida can have whatever.
Additionally...
I never understood Heather Headley's AIDA hair. In the program book, some pictures she has no braids... just her short short hair... and then others she has the braids that are just odd... there's just a few of them across her head and pull together in the back. I'm no stylist, but it looked to me like the hair dude said, she needs some hair... let's give her 7 braids, and call it quits. It doesn't look like a feesible hairstyle.
My 2 cents,
david.

I agree, David.

BTW, what did you think of Paulette Ivory?? I loved her performance and she was such a sweet woman at the stage door after the show.

I thought she was FABULOUS! My one complaint was that she didn't hit the (only) high note at the end of... hmmm... I think it was The Dance of the Robe (whatever song they all chant "Aida, Aida").
But no biggie. It was funny, I knew she was British/English because her bio said so...
But in the show, she conformed and spoke with an american accent, I guess to be consistent with the rest of the cast.
She was so cute at the meet and greet thingy, all proper sounding. And very warm and humble.
:)

To Clarify:
I didn't mean that she attempted to hit it and cracked or it sounded bad... she didn't even go for it, just took it down a note or two!
.d

I just don't think it's a high note... but Aida is for an alto (in my opinion) so... maybe it's out of that range!

you win!
But I don't know the note exactly... I'm sure someone on here does!!
