Kiss of the Spider Woman revival? — Page 2

I couldn't agree more munkustrap. I really don't understand the American craze with CZJ: she's a DECENT actress, singer and dancer. No better than most swing performers. From what I have seen/heard of Night Music, she sounds completely out of her depth - lyrically, musically etc. She looks elegant and classy, but that's not enough to convince me she's a woman at the end of her career, resigning herself to the hand that fate dealt.
She definitely doesn't have the talent or charisma to pull off Spider Woman.

I saw her and loved her in A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, but there's no denying that she does not have a strong voice. She could barely make it through all of "Send in the Clowns".

I'm not saying that she doesn't have the vocal range for the score, but there's no way in hell she has a voice powerful enough for this show.

Sorry, but she does not have what it takes.
