So, Martin went up on her lines at every performance reported on here…? In the immortal words of Alyssa Edwards, I smell a stunt.

Andrea really couldn’t be bothered with this one lol
In Blithe Spirit it is such a wonderful role. In the musical it’s quite horrible with dreadful, silly songs.
Lenk was the best I’ve ever seen her.
The three leads voices blended beautifully. I would love an album of them singing these songs.

Are we supposed to glean anything from his deceased wife coming back? Or is it all just silly nonsense? I enjoyed it either way. I didn’t really care for the ending where everyone dies though. At one point, I thought Katrina and Phillipa were going to go into Death Becomes Her territory and end it with a duet.
Katrina sounded terrific, I thought she was tremendous in Company, I didn’t care that she was flat on Being Alive, but she sounded great in every number she sang in this.

Katrina's current vocal coach is Joan Lader,who also works with Patti LuPone and Kristin Chenoweth. I remember her mentioning it in an interview when Company returned after the shutdown. She really does sound great.

I enjoyed this considerably mostly because It's a title that I thought I'd never see staged. Much to enjoy if you enter a Time Machine and return to 1964. I did have trouble with the ending because Blythe Spirit does not end that way. There he is left being tormented by both of the ghosts which is a funny ending and offers much room for physical comedy and special effects to end the show on a high note. Was this the actual ending of the musical or was this tinkering by the director? I doubt that the narrator existed in the original so I've been assuming that the ending was played with as well. Am I right?

How is Rachel Dratch in this? Does her role sing at all?

She is barely in it, if she sings it's only a line or two. She was funny as always, though.

The ending wasn’t altered. Ruth, Charles, and Madame Arcati all die and join Elvira in the celestial world.
