This was a terrific concert and was much better organized than the previous Man of La Mancha concert.
I agree with all your comments and also was in showtune heaven hearing the Jonathan Tunick orchestrations performed so splendidly. The backup singers also did a fine job.
Besides the singers you mentioned I thought Hannah Corneau and Michael Lowney were very good singing You'll Think of Someone.
The one song that seemed terribly dated was Where Can You Take a Girl which mysteriously wasn't listed in the program. Otherwise the songs have held up well.
I got to talk to Jill O'Hara afterwards. I told her how the show was a big favorite of mine when I saw it growing up. And how touching it was to her sing again tonight. She grabbed my hand to thank me for coming. I never imagined that I would get to relive my experience of seeing the show 50 years ago by hearing her sing tonight. |
