Posted: 7/6/09 at 2:45pmThanks for the review, LayerBoy! That's a great observation about Sierra being a soprano who was taught to belt, and vice versa with Chelsea.

Posted: 7/6/09 at 2:50pmI sometimes do get why singers do that with vowels when they sing! Just sing it the way it sounds!

Around 11AM there was 1 rush ticket for the afternoon show and a a decent amount for the evening performance. This was a couple of Wednesday's ago though, before school was out for most munchkins. Seems like rush has been reasonable though. It was Drew and Chelsea's first week too.
Thank you caitlinette! And @MTVMANN, usually singers are trying to find the way to sing a word or note with the least amount of tension to keep their voice healthy. With the word 'burn' there is a tendency to want to grip the 'r,' which can be vocally taxing when belting. I almost understand her trying to found a vowel to keep it extra relaxed, except that everyone expects the Jodi Benson diction, so you really need to deliver on "Part Of Your World."
