Trust me you get used to the English accents, normally before Popular. Now honestly, if you'd heard the 'English accent' version before the 'US accent' version would there be such an issue? Probably not. Shame that people can't 'hear' past it...if us Brits can look past Kevin Costner's accent in Robin Hood...I'll admit at first hearing it's a bit odd but who wants the same thing churned out again and again.
Veriety is the spice of life and all that jazz
Nothing worse than a bad fake accent though...I'd rather the cast had an array of British accents than bad US ones.
IMHO Helen's version sounds more serious because of the accent, plus she doesn't over play it...hence it seeming deadly serious. I will say though, as much as I love her, if you really like Megan you may take a while to get used to Helen.
Plus we get an English accented Elphaba in a few months...
Idina is fabulous, really fabulous. Her acting's amazing and I love how she's picked up some English phrasing. The best being that I sware she's started putting the 'T' in Gravity! We'll miss her when she's gone.
