"She played a smart woman who wanted a competitive career in the shop. She demonstrated the traits that would make her employable. Demonstrable ambition and drive. And then she let the music -- ah, that music -- take care of the vulnerability. So she presented the external and internal lives of this woman with complexity. The songs deepened her, and revealed a kind of emotional transparency that (she assumed) might cost her if revealed."
Very well expressed, and I would say that a great deal of that exists in the writing itself. Because of the excellent writing of the book and the songs, I think it would be difficult for any good actress and singer NOT to make it clear that Amalia is a strong, feisty, ambitious woman who also has very warm, loving, and vulnerable aspects to her personality. |
