Caskey is hysterical as Electra. Inspired take on the role.

The best Tulsa I've seen to date was Robert Lambert in the 1989 revival with Tyne Daly. He was sensational.

Yes. Inspired by Julie Halston.

"I was just curious, as I hadn't seen the whole production"

Check the tense there, Ashley0139... 'hadn't' I commented on it, after watching the rest of the show. I still standby my initial response; that he is too old and his portrayal doesn't capture the passion and enthusiasm I expect from Tulsa.

And Bettyboy72, I couldn't agree more David B. was amazing. I completely fell in love with him; he was charming, passionate and totally believable as the starry-eyed performer.

Unfortunately I didn't see Julie Halston. I saw her understudy, Cathy Trien. I frankly don't remember what she did with the role. I wish I'd seen Halston so I could've seen the similarities to Caskey's performance.

You may or may not be able to find Halston's take on YT.
