Judy Garland Musical "END OF THE RAINBOW" Headed To Broadway March 2012 — Page 10

#I do not seem to think any such thing.#



Oh, I see, sorry if I misunderstood. Then you won't be disappointed with Bennett's performance, her acting is on a par with that of Davis', who is also brilliant, IMO.

Reginald, absolutely a great performance from someone that has many awards; it just appeared to me that some thought Davis was using her own voice.

#Surely we can agree that saying "Bennett IS Garland" is pretty much the same thing.#

I guess we all have different opinions on things; to me, 'Bennett IS Garland;'....means she IS at present and until someone else in the future, does just as well in the role, and becomes known as 'IS Garland'; that's how it is. IMHO

Getting back to the 'dog' scene, 'Judy' is not under the influence of pills/liquor at that point in the storyline; she's joking/exaggerating and doing it to amuse the other two but it would spoil it for others that have not seen the play to go into further details.

Just to comment on something said a page or two ago where it was stated that someone couldn't tell the difference between Tracie and Judy's singing--really?!

A few weeks ago, I was sitting in the living with my sister and best friend who were both visiting for a friend's birthday, and clicked on the clip of Bennett singing "Just in Time." I was watching the video while they were just listening. About half way through, I thought to myself, "Why aren't we just listening to the real thing" and clicked on Judy singing the same song. Within the first 4 notes, my sister sighed--"Well, that's a million times better."

Not that I don't think Bennett wasn't doing fine, but not anything like the brilliance that is Judy Garland.

I really don't mean to bash Bennett without having seen her (and I definitely will when it comes to NYC), I am just stating that saying that Bennett and Garland sound almost identical is not accurate (to me anyway).

Do you mean this one, Landryjames?...

What a weird post Scipps; so everyone in Huntingdon is cruel to animals?
Well, anyway, have a look at a top notch theatre critic's write-up then, if you don't think the Cambridge one is bona fide/good

Just trying to say, all the critics can't be wrong.

No, I'm just being emotive because I saw your 04:38 post before you edited it and thought it pathetic.

Her Majesty: you've already acknowledged that

Posting as someone whose memory is okay, I stand by my comment.

but couldn't resist posting the latest review ...

Another pathetic post btw.
