Christine Baranski and Ruthie Hensall to Star in Follies Concert This Spring — Page 2

The London production in the 80s was heavily revised and almost an entire rewrite of the show. It's just wrong. It was well-received at its time.

How old is Ben? Is he going to say to Hattie, "You were just a toddler in a low-cut dress, I didn't hear a note you howled" or is Ben being played by a 20 year old?

ETA: I caught Glee tonight for the first time in like 12 years and Jennifer Coolidge was on it. She was autotuned to the point that she didn't really sound like a human, but that's what everybody on that show sounds like when they sing. Like a bunch of unthreatening robots that almost reach uncanny valley.

Let's not forget her Norma Desmond and her take on As If We Never Said Goodbye. Girlfriend can't belt and her delivery of the line "Home at Last" @ 2:35 is, well....

Is Anita Dobson playing Carlotta?

Baranski as Phyllis, odd. But she's already done Mame, Mrs. Lovett, Carlotta. I guess she's got a bucket list. She'll be fine, well fine enough, but it just seems ... uneventful. Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, maybe as Phyllis, exciting, new. But this doesn't have much going on.

Anita Dobson is going to play Stella. Carlotta is still to be announced, like Buddy
