^ Absolutely agree! Flawless and crystalline delivery. It's so great a performance that the few naysayers above truly surprised me. Graham Phillips is a name I'll be on the lookout for from now on.
I caught the show recently and agree that Graham Phillips was outstanding. The production on the whole was really terrific - thought it was the best thing I'd seen at the Playhouse since the RAGTIME revival four years ago.

The two Celestes- Juliana Sloan played Millie in the first Broadway National Tour of Thoroughly Modern Millie. Jenni Barber has played several roles on Broadway including Glinda in Wicked. They are MAJOR talents."
To be accurate, Juliana Sloan was a Millie cover and went of a couple of times. Millie was, of course, Darcy Roberts.
Saw this last night. I thought Jenni Barber was hilarious and Graham Phillips had a lovely voice. That's about all I can say that's positive. I'm not a Sondheim fan and this show is a crushing bore.
