I love CHeno's voice and she has an amazing legit, but I thought she was too belty on some numbers like My White Knight instead of using her gorgeous soprano. Also the songs were totally lower than usual which confuses me b/c she can soo totally sing in the original key. I mean I saw Wicked the week before the Tony's and she went up an extra octive at the end of Good News. It was amazing. Cheno -what happened in Music Man?!?

And I disagree - Matthew Broderick can totally sing!

M.Brod can definitely sing (he's not the greatest, but he can hold his own...), but i think this was just a waste of both of his and Cheno's talents. I was watching last night MORTIFIED. and i like to think i'll give anything a chance. i mean...i even forced myself to sit through Fame on 42nd street two months ago...and THAT was torture. but this...idk. i was very disappointed.

I am in the LOW minority here when I say that I actually liked this version and kind of disliked the original. BLASPHEMY I KNOW. But, this is coming from the guy who hates Gone With The Wind and other stuff like that.

Jon, in 40 words or less you managed to speak my mind.
