I saw it too, and while it was delightful in that context... she was basically doing her version of Donna Murphy's version. And as a performer she doesn't seem to have the sophistication and saltiness that Ruth needs. I don't think we're missing much by not seeing her Ruth...
But again, very enjoyable part of the evening (though I'm always surprised and disappointed when Bernstein tributes pick songs like "100 Easy Ways" and "What A Waste" which musically are the same over and over, and pretty simple at that, with basically one joke premise repeated in variation in the lyrics until they just end... these songs are not the best examples of why Bernstein was such a uniquely great theater composer, nor do they show off the voices of the few broadway stars they have on hand to sing songs) |
