The Tanglewood concert of A Little Night Music with Christine Ebersole is being streamed live NOW on WCRB 99.5 Boston FM and on the web. There's a bit of an echo because of the shed, but it's not bad at all.

I love how they don't even attempt a mid-atlantic accent.. they all sound like they come from Pittsburgh.

Could be worse. They could be using Boston accents.
(And I can say that because I'm from Boston.)

Posted: 7/8/08 at 9:07pmFor some reason it feels really cool to be listening to this on the radio.

Not a great cast. Christine is channelling Ethel Merman as Desiree. And whoever is playing Frederick has muffed several lines.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

Posted: 7/8/08 at 9:17pmYeah. Christine's performance is quite odd. But just wait until SEND IN THE CLOWNS.

Posted: 7/8/08 at 9:18pmI really like Bobbie Steinbach as Madame Armfeldt. She's a Boston jewel.

Posted: 7/8/08 at 9:20pmFredrik is Ron Raines. When they did this in Boston they were all carrying scripts. Strange that he's muffing lines.

Posted: 7/8/08 at 9:22pmSo far I'm enjoying much more than the BBC Betty Buckley concert version.

Posted: 7/8/08 at 9:32pmMy favorite version of Every Day a Little Death is the one on the Putting It Together CD with Julie Andrews and Rachel York. So poignant.

Back to the discussion, why are they playing THE PRODUCERS overture?

Posted: 7/8/08 at 9:48pmSounds like they're giving us the Pops' greatest B'way overtures. I'm lovin' it.

Posted: 7/8/08 at 10:24pmI have to say, Christine really wasn't doing it for me, but her "Send In The Clowns" was lovely.

Posted: 7/8/08 at 10:27pmI loved her "Send In The Clowns" as well. Unfortunately, the rest of the time she sounds like Little Edie.

Posted: 7/8/08 at 10:29pmI agree. Her performance of that song was sublime. I wish the beautiful qualities of her performance during "Send in the Clowns" would extend to her performance of Desiree's dialogue.
