"You Could Drive A Person Crazy" - 1995 Company Revival..

Question...

Does anyone know what girls are singing what part on You Could Drive A Person Crazy from the Company (1995 revival?)

I know Donna sang the high A's and the upper harmonies on the original. But I'm not sure if Charlotte did the same as Kathy. I can't tell if it's Charlotte or Jane on the high A's. Anyone know for sure? I'm pretty sure LaChanze does the low harmony, right?

So anyone know for sure, which girl is on each part? Charlotte, Jane, LaChanze?

anyone?

Marta is actually on top, April in the middle, and Kathy on the bottom. If you listen, you can clearly hear the rather piercing voice of Pamela Myers on top.

Donna definitely sang the high A's in the original as Kathy. So wouldn't that mean Donna sang the top part as Kathy?


But I am not asking about the original. I am asking about the revival.

No, ljay. She had to jump from the bottom harmony to the A's. You can definitely hear Pamela Myers on top. There's a lot of jumping in the song - April's middle part switches from the low harmony to the melody toward the 3/4 mark of the song.

I'm sorry, I don't know how it was in the revival. I'll have to listen to it.

I don't think Charlotte is much of an actress, but I agree with you that she's a terrific dancer and at least a pleasant singer. To me, a triple threat has to be terrific at all three.

Bebe Neuwirth is a perfect example to me.

Charlotte is a dancer and an actress before she's a singer. She acted her way through CHICAGO. I mean, she can vocally get by, but if it wasn't for her fantastic acting, all would have been lost - atleast as Roxie.

Well for a performer most known as a dance, to be letting out high A's. I think that's pretty impressive, granted that Charlotte was the one singing the high A's. Which it seems pretty certain now she was the one.

Sondheim said it about Donna on the making of the cast album DVD, that it's not easy to sing those high A's - like Donna had to.

But Roxie really isn't the best role to judge her vocal talent by. Roxie's song were written for a very ill-voiced Verdon.

And, yes. I too have noticed that Jane's voice has improved a lot!

Hopefully we'll get a better look at Charlotte the all around triple threat - with A CHORUS LINE. MUSIC AND THE MIRROR should show off her vocal talent better than any Roxie sng.
