I have OCD and my newest obsession is Carolee Carmello. I saw her yesterday in Mamma Mia and my favorite broadway actress was Sara Ramerez but now its Carolee. I only knew of her when i was looking at Mamma Mia info preparing to see the show again. I thought she was great but unlike Carey Anderson (sophie) she was the most talanted portraying donna acting wise and vocally of course. The Best number was of course the Winner Takes it all. But the most chilling was Slipping through my fingers. During Slipping she was as genuine as a real good mother would be before her own daughters wedding. Her other works seem to be very unique as well. The end of Winner was the best ending of a number Theater history in my opinion. So anyways what do you think of her?

I thought she was fantastic as Donna. I didn't like her at first but as the show went on, I began to love her! She is the strongest part of the show.

Zoloft did wonders for my OCD.

You "prepared" to go and see Mamma Mia?

The only preparation to see Mamma Mia I have ever heard of is downing a few Valium.

I adore her. If you like her, I highly recommend Parade. It's some of her strongest work.

"The end of Winner was the best ending of a number Theater history in my opinion."

In theater history? Ever? Carolee is great and all, but we are talking about Mamma Mia, not Roses Turn...

Carolee's Winner Takes It All is nothing short of genius. One of the most moving performances I've ever seen.

I adore Carolee Carmello and I, too, am pretty obsessed with her. I've loved her ever since I saw her in PARADE a few years ago. I was in NYC two weeks ago and wanted to see her in MAMMA MIA! so bad, but with all the other shows I had booked for my trip I didn't have time. Tis a shame...I'm so glad you enjoyed her! She's brilliant. She has all that vocal talent without even hardly being vocally trained...amazing.

I agree that Carolee is wonderful. I think this whole cast is great esp Gina Ferrall and Judy McLane and I like the new dads. My favorite tho is Carey Anderson!

I adore Carey Anderson. She is just so cute. Regarding Carolee Carmelo, I have never been a huge fan of her voice, but then I saw her sing "Do You Hear What I Hear" at the Bryant Park tree lighting and I was blown away. i would like to see her in Mamma Mia.

Her voice is wonderful and she can act with her voice, which is something I really respect with her. While your picking up the Parade soundtrack, don't forget to get John & Jen--I enjoy her performance in that possibly even more than in Parade, just because she sings non-stop and with such range!

Parade has never been a film, so it does not have a Soundtrack.

It has on OBC Recording and an OLC Recording, but no Soundtrack.
