HUGE agreement.

I was reminded last night how many laugh lines Brigitta gets... and darnit it was painful to have no studio audience there. The show needs it. Audra was ready to get some laughs, too... you could see it. But I totally agree about Lehman's improvements on the script. Additionally, it's interesting how valuable "I Have Confidence" is, when setting the stage for Maria's character arc. In the film you really see how her outspokenness and ability to stand up to authority are crucial for the story, but how it's something she'd always viewed as a flaw, not an asset. That shift -- the "I'm a sinner in need of reforming" to "I'm the one person here with the balls to call this dude's shit out for what it is" -- is pretty fascinating and great. - GMB

You don't sound very grumpy to me. Oh, I see: only in the morning :-) And I so agree with you about "I Have Confidence". I would've kept that in and gotten rid of "I Must Have Done Something Good", which bothers first of all because "somewhere in my youth or childhood" seems redundant and MOST of all, believe me, if Christopher Plummer was kissing me, I would not start singing. I'd be too busy. (Although last night's total lack of chemistry between the leads made me not care that much what they sang.)
