Now if only there was a clip of Orfeh singing Ireland at Borders as well drifting around *crosses fingers*

I love her voice but they need to re-tool the orchestration of the song "So Much Better". It seems the ensemble overpowers Elle when it's supposed to be her big number.

Other than that I love Annaleigh. I can't wait til she goes on for LBB.

I was there also. I didn't catch the names of the three Greek Chorus girls that were also there. Since Annaleigh Ashford was playing Elle, I guess a swing took her normal role in the Greek Chorus. Anyone remember their names?

It was Becky Gulsvig, Lindsay Nicole Chambers, and Michelle Kittrell as the Greek chorus

There are a few pictures from the event up on broadway.com's Stage Notes section. According to the caption, the three Greek Chorus girls are Lindsay Nicole Chambers, Becky Gulsvig, and Michelle Kittrell.

I hope no one kills me, but I think she sounds better than LBB.

You can't judge from a 20 second clip, but I do agree. :P

Really? I think her last note is very underwhelming.

I would love to see Annaleigh doing the whole show!

Definitely better than LBB, though I thought the beginning was a bit pitchy...

The last note is usually underwhelming if they overpronounce the "OR" in "before". I hate it when they do that. It's probably not the "proper" way to sing it, but I prefer when they phrase it as sounding like "beFAAAAAR" instead.


It just sounds better that way.
