Tell me about it. I've already grabbed it onto my computer. :)

I would pay SUCH good money for this on DVD. Seriously.

its really soryt of frightening how much Alice reminds me of Catherine O'hara in both appearence and demeanor.

As I said already, I love it and would totally pay good money for the whole thing.

But my roommate and I lost it when we watched it and really looked at this bit...and read it with a short i sound. They live! :)

Okay, I am just gonna bring this up cause it is always eating away at me...

I got a lot of what I got...and I tend to flaunt it. I don't think very baggy clothes are all that flattering. And as drop dead gorgeous as I think Emily is, I don't care for that big purple shirt she is wearing. It does absolutely nothing for her, and that lady is a knockout. I like the green top she wears with the black thing over it, I think it is much more figure flattering. This woman is one of the sexiest and most talented ladies alive and just because she is a different size than most Broadway ladies, it doesn't mean she has to dress frumpy. Anyone see what she was wearing in the Actors fund concert of Whorehouse? MUY CALIENTE!

She did make fun of the purple tent at the beginning of the concert... Explaining how to tell the difference. "Emily's the big blonde...who's dressed like a grape." But I definitely agree. I love her to death, but she missed the "baggy does not make you look smaller" derssing lesson obviously.

She did say in a recent podcast when talking about the upcoming Feinstein's gigs that her boyfriend told her she needs to "sex it up" a little, and she said she is going to do that... I'll report in after the concert (when I can type coherently).

poor Alice has none of her former power belt high notes left...she didn't have them at town hall either. i still love them both

I wish they had included part of "You Have To Be There"... Alice sang the hell out of that. I think the whole thing with "I Will Never Leave You" is the emotionality of it ~ they had a whole "you can't cry" discussion before starting it.

I don't think you can tell the quality of Alice's power belt from these particular clips. It was still there at the concert (as well as in the performances I saw of N2N).

I still love SRS to death, but one need only watch that clip of "Poor Unfortunate Souls" to see that Emily Skinner would be the most fabulous Ursula EVER.
