The difference between negative comments surrounding Foster's initial casting had to do with conceptions (that turned out to be wrong) that she was miscast; I don't think anyone was doubting her ability to sing, dance, act or give a hell of a star turn in a production. Star turn is something that you just can't associate with Block, I think she has a good enough voice but IMO she can't act through song, she can't deliver lines convincingly and she gets lost on stage. Sometimes you like a performer, sometimes you don't, I don't feel I should pay a certain amount of money to see a show with someone I just don't appreciate as a performer especially when I only get to see a limited amount of shows a year since I don't live in NY. Honestly, I wouldn't get a refund if the understudy had been on, it's Block's casting that makes me roll my eyes. Obviously I'll wait to find out when exactly Foster will be out in November since my tickets are for the 4th, maybe it's early enough that it'll be one of her last days.
