Posted: 12/22/05 at 1:01pmI confess I don't know the play. Do any of the characters have to sing?

Posted: 12/22/05 at 1:12pmShe's playing the role Amanda Peet played some years ago off-Broadway. I don't recall there being singing.

Clifford Odets sure writes a great toe-tapper!
No...it's not a musical.
But yes...the bitch can sing...and I wish she was playing Polly in THREEPENNY.

She would make a good Polly, but I'm excited to see Nellie McKay do it.
Back on topic, Lauren Ambrose did some brief singing in Psycho Beach Party and had a song in the last season of Six Feet Under.

Awake and Sing is a brilliant play by Clifford Odets, with NO singing. 
But yes, she can sing quite well. I'm excited...She's going to be brilliant!

I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song and a dance, what are we?/So I say "Thank you for the music/For giving it to me."

I'm so sad this isn't a musical, because she has an amazing voice. I'd love to see her in a musical, though I will be seeing her in this play regardless. She's great.
