UGH! Raines played it like 20 years ago. Can't get a more boring choice than him.
Oh well. I'm excited for Burstein.

I'm such someone will post a audio of this on thesinginstage.com

I'm member there. I download stuff from that site all the time without sharing anything.

you can too.

Not as bad as when he plugged the site on the thread for Jerry Bock's passing, though still pretty annoying. I'm curious as to what you actually have to do to get banned on this site nowadays. You would think that posting exclusively to shill a site that exists solely for trading bootlegs and pirated audio would be enough, but apparently not.

I hope they keep in some of Buddy's dancing in this production

In spite of my being something of a FOLLIES purist (I believe the original book was the best version.. and possible among the best books to a musical ever written) I simply don't buy Buddy breaking into a showy presentational dance break in the middle of THE RIGHT GIRL. Buddy wasn't a performer and - at least with the original production- Gene Nelson's non-performer Buddy burns the stage with his expert hoofing.

Of course during the "Follies" sequence it makes sense, but beforehand it sticks out as a concession to casting a dancer like Nelson.
