"Moulin Rouge" and Ariana DeBose on "The View" this morning

Just watched. I am enjoying her interviews. Can't wait to watch West Side Story.

Just watched the Moulin Rouge performance. Natalie has a lovely voice but it isn't particularly strong ( I hesitate to say weak because I don't think that's the right word) especially when compared to Aaron's voice. I've seen the show with both Ashley Loren and Karen Olivo and they seemed to be a better match for Aaron's vocals.

The song landed so much better when they did it on Colbert. Maybe because of the live orchestra and live audience?

But yes, there is something off vocally between Tveit and Mendoza here.

I truly don't understand how Aaron has been able to maintain such a vocally strong and consistent performance since the show started years ago. His stellar attendance is also tremendously impressive. An absolute professional who I have utmost respect for."

The performance was pre-recorded some time last week, either before or more likely during the run of shows she missed.

Aaron's stamina is out of this world. The role is vocally intense and he makes it sound so easy and never misses aside from when had Covid.

When they pre-record a Monday holiday show, it’s usually done on Thursday afternoon. So this was most likely performed live on 2/17 in the afternoon.
