That BWW article about the cast filming outside is so dumb. “It’s not clear if this is how the number will be staged..” (or words to that effect)… erm- it’s LITERALLY how the number is staged in this show.

The orchestrations are so crisp, Tom Francis sounds perfect - cannot wait to hear the full recording (and to see it) ... and cannot believe how great live recordings have come in terms of quality"

I feel the same way. The other recordings of the title song never had this sense of urgency or vibrancy this track does.

I don’t get it. Saw it in London and hated it. The track confirms for me that he’s a big reason why. He is so beyond bland, hanging on consonants, very speaky. Where’s that rich tenor sound? I don’t get it.
