She was great in that show.

Maybe 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!)

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

I thought Debra Monk was great in Curtains. She really encompassed that character. I LOVE HER!

Debra Monk has turned up in a lot of the DVDs I watched in the last couple of months. Last night it was Mrs Winterbourne...

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...

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

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.

I'm a fan and she can do no wrong by me. I think she is the show's highlight.

Add 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.

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