"How are Things in Glocca Morra" came up on my iPod this morning. I almost forgot how amazing Kate Baldwin was in Finian's Rainbow.
Did anyone go to her "American Songbook" concert, I'd love to have been there!
I hope she comes back to the boards soon, I'd sure love to see her live again.

Posted: 4/7/11 at 7:39pmI agree. Her performance in FINIAN'S was star-making, and it only goes to show since she seems to have booked every workshop/reading/benefit/concert available to her since the show closed. Glad to know she took the opportunity and ran with it! She's incredibly talented and her solo CD is great too.

I also read this hoping it was announcing that she gave birth.
She must be due soon, but this looks really great, I might have to go audit this, especially for only 30 bucks.

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Someone revise She Loves Me with Kate as Amalia.
Thank me later.
#8Kate Baldwin
Posted: 4/8/11 at 10:17amShe was wonderful as Amalia in the Huntington's production of She Loves Me back in 2008. I, for one, would not object to a Broadway revival with her.

Posted: 4/8/11 at 3:13pmShe was indeed wonderful in the Huntington's production, as was Brooks Ashmanskas as Georg. Actually, everything about the production was lovely... it's really too bad it wasn't picked up by Roundabout or someone outside Boston (beyond Williamstown, where it played after).

Kate as Anna in "The King and I" would be perfection. I can't think of a role she'd be so well suited for!
And thanks for that find on the master class ABB. I won't be in the city that day, but I'm making my sister go instead. That's so cheap!
#11Kate Baldwin
Posted: 4/8/11 at 5:21pmKate would be so perfect as Anna in The King and I. I'd also really love to see her as the Baker's Wife in Into the Woods at some point.

Posted: 4/8/11 at 5:28pmI guess I'm the only person who finds her to be deathly boring, both vocally and acting-wise.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
