New ON THE TOWN video - "I Can Cook Too"

Posted by: DistantDrumming 05:31 am EST 01/19/15
...well, the orchestra sounds great. I still find this staging bizarre - isn't it odd for Chip to be so, you know, "into it" from the very beginning with this wild, over-the-top choreography that overshadows Hildy? Isn't the point of the song for Hildy to convince him to (or steamroll him into) sampling her wares? Shouldn't *she* be the one in control here?

Perhaps she just doesn't register on screen, but I'm also still left puzzled by the raves for Umphress. I adore this song and would love to be bowled over by her, but all I see is a singer (as opposed to actress) dutifully performing some light choreography and pleasantly singing what should be a knockout. I see zero charisma, stage presence or character. Just a blank face.
