Your thoughts on "On the Record" — Page 2

"that's pretty much Ashley Brown's problem. She's got a lovely voice, but Celia Keenan-Bolger, Erin Dilly, et al. have the same and are more dynamic."

I don't think that Dilly has the voice that can transfer to any role...hence dropped as Millie for Sutton. Boring I can understand, though don't agree with, but her voice can fit almost any part since she can sing belt and legit equally.

This is the ONLY show I have walked out of before intermission.

It came through Dallas a couple of seasons ago with Ashley Brown (who was as boring in this as she is in "Mary Poppins") and Kaitlin Hopkins (from "Bat Boy", replaced Emily Skinner and she was the only shining spot in this show, but completely underused).

No set, hardly any choreography, and the weakest interpretation of classic Disney songs ever to hit my ears.

Oh I just loved OTR. Ashley Brown IS amazing. I have seen her in OTR, BATB and MP. Just a gorgeous voice and a charming actress. I hope she goes far and doesn't get herself too much into the "Disney" typecast. I think she'd be great in other roles. Would love to see her branch out.

Anyway, enjoy the CD. The arrangements and orchestrations are fantasic and the supporting cast, including Meredith Inglesby (who is currently Babette in BATB and will be joining The Little Mermaid) was a member of the quartet. Great voice there, too.

Oh, and I've met both Ashley and Meredith and they are both SO sweet and humble!!!

I just got this CD from my office and I am enjoying listening to it! I haven't listened to Disney songs in a while, so it's like a walk through memory lane, to be completely trite.
