Wow! What a future this young girl has. Let's hope she comes to Broadway fast. She has an amazing presence on stage.

Posted: 6/17/06 at 9:11amTheir voices were very good. But... wow, what a boring performance. I'm doing that number right now in a Sondheim revue and we take it almost twice that fast with much more energy... : Maybe that's why I don't like this one.

The Hey! Mr. Producer version's a lot more enjoyable. 
And, wow, is me or did she lose weight before she went on AI?
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

ew. thats one of my favorite songs, and that wasnt that good.
They needed some better direction, ^^ pick up the tempo and loose the chunky sandals.

"Celebrating a birthday this week: Rene Descartes is 412! Do you know who he is? Then why are you watching this show? You could probably get into college and even get one of those job things. As for the rest of us; Amanda Bynes is 22! Yay!"

Its my dream to direct company... I would kick a s s choreographing that scene. no disrespect to Micheal Bennett.

Posted: 6/17/06 at 4:05pmWell, one thing's for sure, she can't pull off Sondheim.
#11re: Katharine Mcphee singing 'You could drive a person Crazy'
Posted: 6/17/06 at 5:49pmI thought she was good but I agree with mateo, it was bad direction.

That's one of my favorite Sondheim numbers, but I didn't think that was very good.
The "Hey, Mr. Producer" is awesome, but Millicent Martin seemed to have forgotten some of the choreography.

Mcphee seemed like she wanted to make the song legato, which didn't impress me. Oh well, the Cameron MacKintosh performance makes me happy

If Percy Blakeney were in Les Mis....
Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
Javert: (Looks for gun)
