    Exactly. This was a concert performance. A chance for her to show off the fact that she's got at least 6 octaves at play
     
    But to be truthful, Eder was never a good actress. She colors her singing with beautiful emotion, but give her lines and it sounds as hollow as a tin can.

    She's like Streisand... If Streisand could still hit these notes squarely.
     
    Eder is a nice example of a singer who has taken very good care of her instrument, allowing her to still hit these incredible notes with impressive control.

    Linda Eder is AMAZING. I love her on the Jekyll and Hyde cast recording. I can do without Sarah Brightman...

    Funny, since we were just talking about Brightman - of course, Ms. Eder was sleeping with her composer too lol - but I agree - she's got much more going than that.

    This is a little known secret, but Joseph was actually written by Don McLean
     
     
    Ah, Laurie Beechman. I never had the pleasure of seeing her live, but her YouTube videos are awesome. She had a BELT.
     
    I did like some of the newer arrangements of Joseph in the last few West End revivals. It allowed whomever played Joseph to show off a nice pop-leaning tenor and kept things a little more exciting. Sorta like the '94 revival of Grease on Broadway: Those arrangements were just AWESOME. Sam Harris and Billy Porter shook the roof.

    I'd say you hit the nail on the head already without knowing it: He's wholesome looking, not covered in ink and has a nice smile. He looks approachable.
     
    If an escorting character is wrapped up in having the best body or biggest dick, you're fighting a losing battle.

    Some might say he never had much ability to sing in the first place. I was never a fan of his rather weak-sounding Phantom... Same goes for Brightman: She breathily warbled her way through the show and there have been a number of better-sung, more technically proficient vocalists tackle Christine.
     
    Dolly the film was okay. It felt like a vanity project (which, let's face it, is most of what Streisand has done since hitting it big).

    An astute review and one that I share almost entirely... Along with heaping praise on Kate Baldwin, who has such a fantastic blend of head-to-belt that I could listen to her sing the phonebook. Her training and talent is clearly wonderful.
     
    Midler has thankfully dropped the old lady shtick and now plays the role as straight as she can. I'm looking forward to seeing a real Broadway trooper like Donna Murphy go in for Dolly, mid-June. I want to see what a seasoned stage vet does with the role, along with a singer who can easily handle the songs.

    Her Fosca was fantastic. Murphy had that blend of melancholy, awkwardness and bitter self-concern that made her magnetic to watch.
     
    Trivia: The part was actually originally offered to Patti LuPone, but she turned it down for Sunset Blvd in London.

    I saw Murphy as Lotte Lenya in the Kurt Weill musical Lovemusik.

    @nynakedtop, She was wonderful as Lenya. I understand your point about Passion.
