>> I can already see the claws out ready to attack me... keep in mind you could change your mind. i saw sutton foster in LITLE WOMEN, MILLIE, DC, in a concert in a cabaret and at the american songbook series, and i think something else i'm forgetting and for the life of me i couldn't figure out what all the hubbub was about. technically proficient, yes. but that was it. or all i could see at the time. then she sang "anyone can whistle" in the encores production (i'm talking about the song itself) and boom! finally i "got' it. i may not be her biggest fan but to say she won me over is putting it mildly.

You know, no one seems to be talking about how Audra sang "My Favorite Things"

She sang it beautifully, but for a little folk song that Maria (Carrie) sings very nicely, Audra as Mother Abbess really oversings it for the little ditty it is supposed to be.
