I have to agree re PROMISES, PROMISES. Sean Hayes and Kristin Chenoweth had insane chemistry during the telecast, Chenoweth looked incredible and was hilarious as usual, Hayes was a fantastic host and their choreography number had the perfect mix of MAD MEN/Broadway style that I imagine they were going for. Not to mention the fact that Katie Finneran won a Tony for it and gave a beautiful speech, now she does a wonderful job on the recording and I can only imagine how funny she is live.
Uncageg, I thought I'd love Chenoweth"s "A House Is Not a Home" but I was deeply disappointed by the way she chooses to sing it on the recording. I just think her voice sounds quite uncomfortable during some of the other numbers like "Whoever You Are" and "Knowing When to Leave." She fares better in the duets.
Still, I'm glad the show's running, I want to see it when I visit the city in October, hopefully with a stronger female lead.
