Theatremania review of Brooklyn — Page 2

I think, personally, while both ladies are wonderful vocalists and great performers, neither is exactly stunning in the acting department.

"PF: Anyway, a diva named Paradice is threatened by Brooklyn's sudden success, and the two compete in a contest for a winner-take-all pot of money. Brooklyn says that if she wins, she'll give it all to charity. Paradice says that if she wins, she'll keep every last dime. And that was the most interesting moment of the show. Want to know why?

BEHW: Let it all out.

PF: Because when Brooklyn said that she'd give the money away, the audience just sat there without comment; but when Paradice said that she'd keep every last cent, the audience applauded."

I love it.

While I never like to read negative reviews about any show, I have to admit this OnStar one is brilliant!

Oh please people, that's one review on a tiny website that mentions espinosa, while the major national papers practically snub her completely. Then there's the Variety review which goes everywhere and which people actually OUTSIDE of message board land read and it pans her. So no, she's not anywhere near a Tony nomination, let alone, win, for this role. There are way too many women coming out in way too many shows that will undoubtably have longer runs, for her to "compete" with.
