I love me some Orfeh and she always winds up stealing any show she's in. This should be a no brainer. (She also did some "pitch perfect" crying on cue on a Law and Order I caught recently). This is an interesting hodge-podge of a cast. Hensley is great and friend of mine who saw Wayne Wilcox in Piazza in Chicago said he was absolutely robbed of the role when it transferred. I hope Kaitlyn Hopkins surprises me. She really caught my eye in Bat Boy, but I thought she was dreary in Bare. Anyone catch her in the much maligned, On The Record? And lets hope Linda Hart has some funnier material than she was given in Hairspray. Anyone besides yours truly sit through the looooong version of Baltimore Crabs in previews? Not pretty at all.

Melissa Errico fan, I wouldn't expect someone with your name to like Orfeh. That's probably a compliment to her. I still shudder at the memory of Errico trying to sing pop in Dreckula. Give me Ms.Orfeh any day over Errico's warbling.

I think you're being a wee bit prententious today, Al Dente, and a little more than a wee bit rude to both me and to Ms. Errico. But, if that's the game that you want to play, I'm all in. I simply prefer Ms. Errico's soothing, melodic, and angelic soprano to Orfeh, who's whine often reminds me of a fussy baby with gas. Just personal preference.

Ruprecht, I know very well who Orfeh is. I have seen her on-stage several times, and I can't stand her. That's my personal opinion. I find her to be whiney, pitchy and screechy.

I can tell you that I have never met Orfeh and have no axe to grind. I also find it very rude that someone would refer to another person's opinions as laughable because they differ from their own views. I know that I must sound like a broken record by now, but here I go again: PER-SO-NAL PRE-FER-ENCE. It's that simple. I've seen her in Footloose, Fascinating Rhythm, Saturday Night Fever and Love, Janis. I think that that would qualify me to make up my own mind about the woman.
