Why don't you come and replace Kathy? You seem so critical, why not come and sing the role of Eva for 2.5 hours at least 6 times a week, and let people throw criticism your way. Kathy is amazing onstage and off.
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day that says, "I will try again tomorrow."
YEah, I Loved the show, And I dont know about you, but Kathy as AMAZING. I though she had all the "Star Quality" that she needed. The she was just awesome and I met them afterwards. They were all really nice. Especally Kate... I was a little suprised about how short she is... Well, standing next to me (I'm 6'4)
nycdncr, I'm sure Kathy is a lovely person, but I was commenting about her performance. The night I saw her, she was less than stellar and I know a lot of people agree with that. Maybe she was having a bad night. I agree, it's a difficult role, and I wouldn't attempt it myself.
I did a workshop for the upcoming broadway show (we hope) of Rasputin and Bradley Dean played our Prince Yusopov with Ted Neeley as Rasputin.
I agree, that BD is so amazing I can barely stand it. Not the nicest of guys, but certainly one of the most talented I have had the pleasure of working with.

Years ago, I did Evita and Jason Daniely was our Che and he was SPECTACULAR. Stole the show away from our Eva played by Jessica Frankel.
Now, Jason Daniely is the kindest and most delightful person. I just love him.
No, I meant my disappointment in the fact that I was missing Brian Stokes Mitchell. Those are really tough shoes to step into, but I was saying that Bradley did a very commendable job, and that I liked him a lot. Hence the "I enjoyed him a lot" part of my post.
