Thanks for your thoughts. Glad to know I'm not alone. Of course, no one is alone. ;) I think that a big part of the point of the production is that this is a small company and they are only going outside the company as absolutely necessary. As far as I can tell, they cast three people who had not appeared in any previous Fiasco productions: Jennifer Mudge (Witch), Claire Karpen (Cinderella / Granny), and Liz Hayes (Cinderella's Stepmother / Jack's Mother). I'd certainly say that they were good choices. Maybe not the best people I've seen in those roles, but up to the demands of those roles (although I found Karpen's vibrato rather too noticeable during "No One Is Alone"). But although you and I might have wished that they'd gone outside the company in a couple of other roles, they would not do that. And I do understand why, even if I also felt that the results were not always ideal.
