COMPANY To Close On July 31, 2022 — Page 5

I can hardly listen to the London cast recording anymore. For some reason, the orchestra sounds low and tinny, whereas on Broadway it sounds bright and full. The accents are a mess, and while Rosalie Craig has a pleasant enough voice she doesn’t interpret the songs as deeply as Lenk. Also, it would be nice to have some of the changes to the lyrics and orchestrations recorded. For instance, Lenk’s “Being Alive” has almost a brand new orchestration, this was changed during 2021 previews.

Sounds like a good reason to release a proshot to me.

Affirmative. Full cast tonight. And on FIRE!

They just released a clip of Katrina singing Marry Me A Little and I cant believe, AGAIN, that she wasnt Tony-nominated.

i also cant over how she seems to still sing with a slight israeli accent, Dina in her forever? but no complaints here.

Same! Katrina is perfection in this role. Can we also acknowledge that the only time she has missed so far is when she had covid! She is a force of nature and pours her heart and soul into this show. I’m so furious with the nominating committee for not recognizing her brilliance.

Id still give it to Sharon Clarke, period end of sentence. A crime that production was so overlooked. I maintain my frustration in just slighting the fall shows every year like that.

Hard to argue with Mare Winningham's crazy good performance but no shade Carmen Cusack, that slot is Katrina's.

TotallyEffed said: "Sharon was amazing and I was banking on her to win. I was thrilled to have Caroline back on Broadway but felt the entire production was inferior to the original which has lessened my enthusiasm for it a bit. As the months have gone on, I feel most haunted by Katrina's performance and truly can't believe she wasn't even nominated."

The only one this season I didn't see was Sharon, but I completely agree with you. Katrina's performance just stays with you. It's my single favorite performance in the over a hundred Broadway shows I have seen. I am still in shock that Sutton (who I adore, but doesn't do much with the role) was nominated and Katrina wasn't.

Make no mistake, leaving Katrina out was absolutely deliberate.

FYI, they released the $79 partial view mezzanine seats on the far ends of row B for the final performance, in case anyone is looking to buy.

Full cast on this afternoon and indeed, on fire. So glad to see this one more time before it closes and still praying to the theater gods for a recording.

This popped up and for whatever it’s worth it doesn’t sound good for a cast recording, if it’s true.

It basically just explains in a little detail the copyright issues keeping them from making a cast recording of the Broadway production. He does mention at the end that these issues wouldn't get in the way of a pro-shot video and, really, if we had a pro-shot, someone out there could do an audio rip and make a sort of cast recording! It would be the best of both worlds. No?
