I caught this show recently off-west in London and although I think it's deeply flawed (it starts off far too slow and is even a little, boring, at times) - that last 35 minutes or so from the moment Violet arrives to North Carolina to the curtain call is AMAZING....especially that Rose's Turn/Lot's Wife-type moment where in desperation Violet starts trying to call on god to heal herself, and then "Look At Me", which is so devastating. The role seemed PERFECT for Sutton Foster (cf. her often trying to play more 'glamorous' characters), and her incredible acting is coming across very well on the cast recording. Nice!
