LOL"

It was, in my opinion. Did you see the original production because I certainly did and while Bernadette's is still gorgeous, there was something special about Annaleigh's.

Agreed, GeorgeandDot.

This production was the first time I didn't cry at "Children and Art".

Just hearing "move on" today brought a flood of wonderful memories and I'm so grateful that they recorded this. Will most definitely be waiting at 12:01 tonight to download :)"

What am I missing? What does liking this show have to do with being an ALW fan?

I love how triggered people get here when the word "definitive" is used. I should be allowed to have an opinion on here without someone coming along and sh*tting on it. I still think the definitive performance of Dot/Marie is Bernadette's, but I really do think that there was something really special about Annaleigh's Marie and her performance of Children and Art. In fact I actually really thought that the second act of this production was better performed than the original was. I just preferred how this production interpreted the material of that act.

Damn, some of you are so smug, it hurts. If someone thought Annaleigh's rendition of the dog is "definitive," why can't you let them? It's all hyperbole anyway since there is no such thing as a definitive rendition of anything. It's all opinion. No need to write stupid, petty "LOL"s. Get over yourself.

Anyway, I'm over the moon that this is being released tomorrow. I've been dying for a clear, full recording of this score. The original - even remastered - often sounds muddy in the especially layered sections and the echo during the quieter moments is irritating. "Move On" sounds as lovely as it did in the theater. Very much looking forward to tomorrow.

You were more entertaining when you had porn stars as your avatar, Jordan.

I'm only in my 30s and I personally never hear anyone older than in their 20s throw that word around.

Lol at calling me a "kid." It's quite flattering actually.

Don't worry Jordan - I also did think Ashford (is that her name?) was a little bit plain - especially next to Jake and especially considering Bernadette in the role. I will admit there was some nice numerous moments in her second act, but the pairing still seemed a little off to me. I kind of wish they had found someone else.

Duh. Now I see it.....I think my brain just wasnt' computing the text, and shut off without a pix. Facepalm.



Thanks, Gypsy. BAER about myself.

Was just trying to make the point that I'm not a typical Sondheim fan, so I'm not one of these people who will enter into the debates of Bernadette vs Annaleigh. Was just blown away by the story, the score and what seemed to be amazing performances.
