Anyone else think that they're overacting a little bit? Although, Sarah's number was extraordinary.

While Katie's voice is still not as splendid as Kelli's, her acting abilities are so beautiful, especially with all of these closeups. She really is an extraordinary talent.

No problemo Marlo, just watch the generalizing about those college kids Some of us arent that bad.

This is my second time seeing this and I still dont love it. Like I understand the story its just kind of boring to me.

sorry boo. I love collge kids...hahah
I know what you mean, SPOILER MAYBE...but when I saw it, I kept thinking Victoria would have a big big song at the end that would justify everything, and it never came. I can see how some people can find a nice subtle piece entertaining, it just didn't do it for me.

Yeah It was kind of disappointing. Plus, while the music is beautiful, sometimes it seems to just drag, ooooooooooooon and ooooooooooooonnnnn

Katie seems to be getting more comfortable with it and she is improving on the acting side...

[WickedRentHead]

Posted: 6/15/06 at 9:04pm

I agree. Its weird that she started off shakily though, it isnt as if she's new to the role or anything

Did you forget she is on national television.. or what?

[Fabrizio2]

Posted: 6/15/06 at 9:06pm

This is one of my favorite parts.

Someone has to make sure to post if it runs even slightly over time - I need to be prepared! I guess I'll find out about half an hour before it starts airing here...

Im sorry, but that shouldn't be an excuse. She's an actress in a Broadway show. Anyways she is doing just fine now.

I guess she was just nervous, it's intimidating for anyone, let alone someone as young and fresh as she is. Act One was wonderful.

Were I to make a guess about anyone overacting, or doing things differently then they normally would, I would say a lot of it is the fact that all the theater lights are turned on right now, instead of just the stage lights. I could see that messing with anyone's head who has never been on TV.

Katie is adorable...

[WickedRentHead]

Posted: 6/15/06 at 9:20pm

[Fabrizio2]

Posted: 6/15/06 at 9:21pm

Yes I am...

They are wonderful. Everyone seems so genuine. I loved hearing Katie talk about auditioning and getting the role and stuff. It really is quite an amazing thing for her

The hat thing is awesome.

I can't believe it takes that much effort to make the hat fly.

I'm loving this. I love the end of Act 1. It's so beautiful. I like how they kept the Italian in the show instead of coping out and doing it all in English. It's so well done. The sets are breathtaking. I love how the bed / desk comes from the floor. I have a question though, where do the actors go on the edge of the stage? Do they go down through the orchestra? Or out through the audience?

Oh, I think they're all great actors. I was suprised by Katie's acting, it's really great. Her singing is pretty decent. The ending of "the Beauty Is" was a little off, but I think her acting makes up for it. This part requires a great singer and a great actor not just a singer who can act or vice versa.

wow, i can understand why so many people love this show now!
i thought it woule be much more "merchant-&-ivory".

its a little romantic-y for me, but that victoria clark is something special.

I don't find her struggling/overacting at all. You have to think that we're watching theater closeup, so most of it will come off as overacting, but if you were sitting in the audience it might come off differently. Just the same with Julia Roberts on stage. Upclose she might be giving a brillant performance, but from the last row of the mezz, she's not doing anything.
