FosterChild...I don't know where you got the assumption I don't like Orfeh. I didn't mention anything about not wanting to see her perform. I happen to adore the women. I think she has an amazing stage presence and her voice is incredible. And I never said I was an aficionado. I was merely expressing an opinion and I don't know if you forgot, but that's what these boards are for.
I never said her bow was undeserved. I just did not think they would give her her own bow solely because in the past, prestige has won over popularity and I used the example of Rita Gardner bowing after many who(in my opinion) deserved to bow after her in "Wedding Singer." I love watching Orfeh get her own bow. The audience eats it up.
I also love "Bend and Snap" and it would be nice to see it performed all the time because not only does Orfeh shine, but so do the fabulously talented Greek trio. I just think that (like others said) they would want to do a song that showcases LBB if they are pushing her for a Tony nom. And like I said, "Bend and Snap" has no ending and they would have to rework it to have it performed. Also if you are speaking of iconic things from the movie, one would think the first thing people would want to see when they hear "Legally Blonde" is the star of the movie, Elle Woods, singing her heart out.
I would love to see a medley. There are so many fun, catchy songs that would be enjoyable to see outside of the show. And there are so many people in this cast who deserve to shine, including Orfeh.
