Marin Mazzie is an interesting choice--vocally closer to Barbara Cook than Betty Buckley. She has the requisite intensity required for the role, and I think she'll be killer (no pun intended). Whatever anyone thinks of the show, you have to admit that a good chunk of Margaret's music--"Open Your Heart," "I Remember How Those Boys Could Dance," "When There's No One"--is stunning.
I hope that Sutton Foster isn't Carrie. Please, no more 35-year-olds playing teenagers.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
