If Ms. Benanti was under the weather and an announcement was made about her condition it seems a bit unfair to comment that she sounded as if she were singing through tension and sounded less than lovely in the second act. C'mon Alan, you are usually so even handed about things!

You are quite right, and I rather wish I had not posted at all.

In my defense, I will say that I posted in response to jrjr writing that she sounded glorious, and I did specifically say that the reason for what I heard as tension in her singing may have been that she was unwell. But if I had it to do over again, I would not have posted.

You are one of fairest and reliable people on this board. No joke.

Thank you. That is sweet of you. I have tried over the years to tone down my natural propensity for negativity and bitchiness. Sometimes it still slips out.

what a breath of fresh air to hear two level-headed, intelligent people battle it out for who is the most considerate and polite. would that their equanimity and maturity would bleed over into some of the other posters (myself included).

maybe the world ain't such a bad place, after all.

On ATC I'm Herman from The Most Happy Fella but in real life I'm Sweeney Todd. ;)
