In the Toulon production, nobody explained "I'm Still Here" to the Carlotta actress, did they? Or else, she must be the artistic director's wife, because her acting is, how do they say in French, le pew.
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.

Not to mention that the 2001 Roundabout version of LOVELAND was a complete joke, a horrible joke... Where was Bartlett Sher when we needed him?!
I'd take the 2011 revival's version of LOVELAND over THAT by any day of the week.

No, Nicole Croisille is just an actress and (mainly jazz) singer who's been doing her job on stage and screen since the late 1950s. I like her way of tackling the part !
Sarah bernhardt to a fellow actress:
"Have you got stage fright, dear?"
"No," the young lady aswered astonished.
"Don't worry, it will come along with talent!"

"I like her way of tackling the part"
I don't like the way she rushes through the line "been called a commie, pinko tool..."
That's what I always hated about Elaine Stritch's performance. She would croak, she would scream, she would rush things. Blasting past notes, talk singing several notes in a row and rushing through lyrics is not acceptable for Sondheim music.

I haven't seen this production, but the DVD cover makes me laugh.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

Having considered making the journey to see this and deciding against it, I shall probably buy the DVD. The strength of the production will be David Charles Abell conducting a (presumably) full orchestra and a cast that is at least more consistent than the forthcoming Royal Albert Hall concert. Having initially thought she was miscast, I found Liz Robertson to be a surprisingly good Joanne in a regional production of Company several years ago so I would hope she delivers here as well.

Is this REALLY the "Who's That Woman" from this production?

I don't mean this to be unkind, but why do all the women look like old drag queens?

I saw the Roundabout production towards the end of its run and by then the performances had really settled. Blythe Danner and Judith Ivey were really quite good. I thought Gregory Harrison was the standout, though.

Well, the orchestra does sound fantastic.
And, from the theatregoing accountant's perspective, the DVD is a lot cheaper than the money I might have spent on a EuroStar ticket.
