I truly do hope this leads to other high profile projects for Sherie. What a star she is.

For those of you saying Sherie “understands the assignment,” what exactly is the assignment?  You’re just projecting your own tastes onto a show that was not written to your desires.  It’s not in Stephen Schwartz’ MO to write some satirical thing.  He literally wrote a show about how the wicked witch is not actually wicked.  He’s interested in seeing the truth in people, not mocking them. 
 

Versailles is really a social showcase of our country, flaws and all.  It shows the virtues and vices of these people lets people decide for themselves what they think, not pushing any agenda.

Remember how Patti went on his show and ripped Trump a new asshole during his first regime while sitting there completely in silence and then after the response he took it down and cut out her calling him out? Ever the clout chaser... this is totally not a surprise.

Schwartz didn't get the assignment either. That Jackie is a deluded narcissistic person. He could never tell that story because he'd never get her blessing, but that's the interesting story. One that Sherie is in tune with that while Kristin and the entire production company are not. They're more focused on making Jackie happy with their show than creating a show anybody actually wants to watch outside of her. This is their Versailles.

Can anyone who saw both Kristin Chenoweth and Sherie Rene Scott comment on their differences in performance? I saw both of Sherie's evening performances (a little better vocally the first night, looser the second/last time) and am not sure if I have it in me to see the show a third time. I've only seen Kristin perform "Caviar Dreams" and "This Is Not the Way" in filmed tv spots and in both she's trying so hard to do that bluegrass Broadway twang that I couldn't get a feel for how they might be in character.

The biggest takeaway I had from Sherie's performance of Jackie that probably isn't there on the page is that she's (as they say on Real Housewives) "a good mom." The relationship between Jackie and Victoria felt honest. A sort of clingy, goofy energy - Gilmore Girlsesque. Yes, Jackie is annoying and vapid, but also seems like a real fun time. I could see this maybe feeling more forced or awkward from Kristin.

There are comparisons of the two in the reviews thread:
