I love the melody.

LBB is adorable.

But what Elle wears a jean jacket. I take issue. :)

I hope I will get to see this.

Why did they film this and how were they able to get so much of it...also...they should film all SHOWS like this...I would buy videos of them...

I think they film all shows in their entirety now, and not just with a master shot.

I would assume for promotional use, and record. Though all tapes or files are under lock and key.

I really like what I see, but did anyone else think Bundy was pretty pitchy in that clip? I've certainly heard her sing that number leagues better than that particular rendition (she seemed flat a lot of the time to me, particularly on the last note.)

She sounded kind of, I don't know, nasal or something. It's not a bad song, but I couldn't understand the lyrics a lot.

I dont know music that well, so Im not sure what the end note is.

but I think that end note is written that way- I dont hear it as flat.

Camera phone was great too!!

mateo, it isn't that bad, but she's about a step off the note as written. If you've heard the demo recording they've lowered it from where it used to be but kept it higher than the note she was hitting there.

Regardless, I really did enjoy it. They seemed to have done a nice job translating this to the stage.

thanks.

i thought it looked and sounded great.

i'm not the biggest fan of the new lyrics though. well at least the lyrics that have changed since the demos.

they took out my favorite line which was "behind you was hiding the whole world outside and i've opened the door"

at least i think those were the lyrics.

If we're gonna quote cut lyrics...can we just listen to the promo track first?

I thought it was rather "eh" for an Act I closer. The lyrics did nothing for me, either.

It sounded a little bit pitchy and strained.

Did anyone else besides me notice that the balcony didn't rise in the background at the end?

She didn't sound as good as she usually does unfortunately. And yes I also noticed the balcony didn't rise, most likely to keep it in the filming frame. Great multiple viewpoints tho, love it.

I noticeed it didnt rise either .. but I mean the other video was shot in SF so they could have changed it since than

It was shot well, however I didn't care for anything in it.

They haven't changed it - I saw it last Wednesday and the balcony rose.
