Patti LuPone's enunciation was so bad, that Forbidden Broadway skewered her in Anything Goes.

I heard someone say once that Ethel Merman had the best enunciation. Now if she could have only gotten rid of that Astoria accent.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Although I love Patti LuPone, she is the queen of questionable enunciation.

Yes! My girlfriend doesn't really believe me when I say that. But even on the Sweeney DVD, it's evident. Her diction is good at times, and then she'll leave the last few letters off a few words, or slur it a little so you have no idea what she said.

Yeah I always noticed Lea Salonga's enunciation, especially during On My Own without/ a hope, without/ a friend, without/ a face to say hello to. It was rather irritating, but usually she enunciates beautifully.

That's a bummer that Stephanie was hard to understand. I always had trouble understanding the ensemble on the Wicked CD, but the soloists were fine, IMO; I had no trouble at all understanding the words.

For anyone still confused about the Little Women reference, I believe AndyF was saying that they OVER ennunciate and that is gets annoying. Is that correct, Andy?

I had no problem hearing everything Norbert Leo Butz sang/said in "Wicked". Some of the ensemble not so clear.

Stephanie was hard to understand in 'The Boy from Oz', too.

I agree about Patti. I love her, but she is really hard to understand. I don't think I understood a word she said at the Candide concert.

My seats are usually closer in orchestra and I had no trouble with Stephanie Block, Sutton Foster etc.

Those three words, Enuciate, enuciate, enucitate reminded me of my dad who was a little hard of hearing and told us were not speaking clearly and he would yell, enunciate, enuciate. re: Enuciate, Enuciate, Enuciate!! re: Enuciate, Enuciate, Enuciate!!
