Just watched the videos on Broadwaywest.net. At The Ballet was beautiful. Probably the best sung version in a long time. Mara Davi, IMO, is the best Maggie since Kay Cole. Zimmerman was fine as Sheila, as was Kelsey Watson as Bebe. Poor J. Elaine(Connie), she just seemed to be marking everything including her monologue. Krysta Rodriquez did well as Diana, much better than her Bebe in the revival. The opening in general seemed slightly sloppy, with some ACL alumni just looking off from the rookies. Now let's get to M&TM. That adlibbing was annoying & Bowden seemed to add way too many "extras" to the dance. Her turns down the line at the end were beautiful though, even throwing in some triples. I also thought she over did it during the "One rehearsal". I have to wonder if she was the best Cassie available. Just hoping the entire "Montage" pops up shortly. Choreography wise it seemed like Baayork said to the cast, "well you guys know what you're doing, so just go for it".

I was there last night and it wasn't my favorite performance either... but to talk about her body is a low blow. She was clearly giving it her all despite whatever it was she was battling vocally or otherwise. I'll save my critiques for offline.
You ACL purists getting angry about bows are cracking me up though.

I had a fun time at the show but as others have stated, I had a bit of a problem with Sabrina as Val. Se is a very talented girl just miscast. Mara was AMAZING! I also enjoyed some of the performances given by others. Overall a fun time at the theatre

Was there Saturday night. Good show but totally distracted by a loud concert or some sort of party near the Bowl. What the hell was that? And lots of empty seats where I was sitting.
