"Well apparently the 4000 people who were in attendance disagree...multiple standing ovations and thunderous, seemingly non-ending applause and cheering proved that."
Standing ovations are meaningless. Did you think that Kristin WOULDN'T get one? Everybody gets 'em.
I love her - I wouldn't be there if I wasn't a fan. But she was doing her same-old-same-old twinkle-munchkin bit and same songs in Act 1 that she's trotted out many times before. Sure, it's cute - but I always thought she could do much more, but now I'm wondering if I've seen her limits.
She's an amazingly talented woman who glows in the dark, but it wouldn't hurt her if she took more chances - with new songs.
And she had a full orchestra at Carnegie Hall - why not at the Met?
"Christ, Bette Davis?!?!"
