She was great in that show.

So was Judy Greer.

Posted: 6/26/07 at 3:10pmMaybe I'm the only one, but I found her to be no more than average. Her performance was fine, but nothing special at all. Her singing was lacked the power everyone seems to say she has- maybe it was an off day.

She was the reason i sat through poor Harry Connick's Musical.
And the reason I fell for Pump Boys and Dinettes!
and my drag name is Shelby Stephyns (if you know who that is you get kudos!)

Posted: 6/26/07 at 4:15pmI thought Debra Monk was great in Curtains. She really encompassed that character. I LOVE HER!

Yankee-
I have a feeling that this poster is referring to the song "Show People" from CURTAINS and not the play at Second Stage that Ms. Monk starred in last year. Just a hunch...

I agree with Johnnytoc. I was underwhelmed by her performance. It was fine, but nothing special.
Also, I was underwhelmed by Curtains, in general, and DHP, in particular.
The plot is thin, and it seemed that every time that they wanted to do a big Broadway number, they reverted back to doing another rehearsal of the play within a play.

Posted: 6/27/07 at 11:46pmI'm a fan and she can do no wrong by me. I think she is the show's highlight.

Posted: 6/27/07 at 11:56pmAdd me to the list Johnnytoc. Did not like Monk. I thought she was very so so.

^ You've already made it clear in another thread that you hated everything about the show.
I think she's amazing. And she sounds absolutely killer on the Cast Recording. She stole the show for me.

Monk truly gave a magnificent performance in CURTAINS and that was last year in LA when she was just starting to sink her teeth into the role, I can only imagine how great she is on Broadway. I'm quite glad that she got a Tony nod for this role.
Haters not welcome.

"Haters not welcome."
Where's the "hate"?

Loved her to pieces, but Ziemba was the best thing in that show for me.
Still, I adored Monk and she was hilarious!
