Rebecca Luker in Fun Home — Page 2

OlBlueEyes said: "I don't know if people are familiar with the My Favorite Broadway concerts at Carnegie Hall, of which there were at least two, both hosted by Julie Andrews and full of major talent. I don't know if you could find them on DVD, but the entire 99 minutes of "Leading Ladies," was put up on YouTube in 2014. This concert, originally recorded in September, 1998, features Rebecca singing "Falling In Love" in full gown while Julie Andrews comments on what good friends they had become that week.

A lot of other good stuff. Audra sings "Love Changes Everything" and "Down with Love," Marin Mazzie "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered," Linda Eder "Man of La Mancha," Judy Kuhn "I Don't Know How to Love Him," Faith Prince "Adelaide's Lament," Elaine Stritch "The Ladies Who Lunch."

Karen Ziemba sings "I Wanna Be a Rockette," assisted by the real Rockettes and joins with Bebe Neuwirth to perform "Nowadays" and "Hot Honey Rag," complete with cartwheels.

Maybe the most talked about act was 13 year old Anna Kendricks, impeccably dressed, singing "Life Upon the Wicked Stage" as she holds off the Kit Kat Girls from Cabaret, who are stalking her in full grunge,.

Anyway, if you haven't seen this concert, it's worth a look.



They were released on DVD. I own them. Not sure if they are still available. Audra is part of a Weber trio and it is fantastic.

Very excited to see Luker in the role. Also, I saw Emily Skeggs as medium Alison and thought she was simply amazing. I didn't get the "didn't connect with her" feeling at all. She accurately captured the sexual awkwardness for me. I can still picture her every emotion when I listen to the cast recording because she emoted so well through the songs.
