Brooke Shield's Rizzo In Grease...

I never saw Brooke as Rizzo in Grease when she replaced Rosie in 95. But I just checked out the cast recording of the show with Brooke's added vocals.

Am I the only one who thinks she sounds really good on the CD? I might say - I found her vocals somewhat impressing. I loved Brooke in Wonderful Town, I thought she was just fabulous. But her vocals on the WT cast album didn't really do much for me. I know the role of Ruth dosen't call for a range. But it sounds like Brooke strectched her voice for Rizzo. I hope she shows some more range for Roxie in Chicago - Roxie's songs don't really call for a range, but there are optional things a Roxie can do to show a little more of their range.
I know Brooke dosen't have a stunning voice, or a fabulous range. I just think she can carry a tune quite good, and I wish she got a little work on her voice, because I think it could become quite fantastic - because she does want to perform in an original musical - and if she got some work on her voice - maybe she could play a role with a little more range than what we've heard her use.

So does anyone else enjoy Brooke on the Grease Reissue??

Oh damn. Well they certainly didn't use studio work on her voice for WT - because she sounded the same in the theater - maybe even a little better in the theater, when I saw her.

She's better than Tom Cruise in ANYTHING

I think she has a vocal coauch, anyhow...i think she was good as Rizzo and excellent as Ruth Sherwood in Wonderful Town, I wish there was a Cabaret cd with her in it too! =)

All I can think of us that she was in NY on 9/11 and now she's in London for this. Poor thing--this on top of being constantly attacked by Dr. Crazy McCrazykins, I mean Cruise.

I didn't hear her as Rizzo, but I'm feelin' the Brooke love right now. Go Brooke!!
