I got to see this absolutely beautiful production last night. I was truly moved. The set was gorgeous, lighting wonderful, orchestra lush... And Kelli O'Hara - funny, poignant, silly, just plain wonderful. Her voice was divine in this role. I loved the entire cast. It's a terrific revival. Kicks Gypsy out to the curb in my opinion. Patti LuPone was a DIVA for sure, but Kelli was so real. She would have my vote in the Tony's, although Ms. Russell was also incredible in SITPWG. I know Kelli personally and she is such a warm human being. It really comes thru in her performances. I'm very happy for her and for this show.
