| Attended tonight's performance of Moulin Rouge. Highlights: Karen Olivo; Danny Burstein; Sahr Ngaujah; The glorious set and lighting Lowlights: Absolutely ZERO chemistry between Karen and Aaron Tveit, killing the entire purpose of the show. Aaron can definitely sing, but their match is just wrong wrong wrong. I need some ideas for a better match for her... anyone help me here? Maybe Matthew Morrison? Corey Cott? Someone needs to read older, yet maintain a sense of innocence. Steven Pasquale might be too old, but I'd rather see him in the part. Too bad he's in that silly play... Santino Fontana would probably be my choice but he's doing that silly Tootsie... Other thoughts: It's not Karen's fault but she's too talented for Satine. It's kind of a Sally Bowles role, where the actress shouldn't be that great of a singer because it doesn't make sense why she hasn't made it. Summary: As the Duke says in the show, the only thing he wants from Satine is her heart. Like the Tin Man, the main thing this show is missing is a heart. Can it get one before NYC? Debatable. Does it need one? Not from the beyond enthusiastic rock star audience that attended tonight's show. |

| I adore Karen Olivo. I think she's the most exciting musical theater performer working today, and I'm thrilled she's returning to Broadway. I never liked the idea of casting her opposite Aaron Tveit, as much as I like and admire his work. I just don't see them as a good match. For Mouln Rouge I would rather see her opposite Andy Karl, Steve Kazee, or even Benjamin Walker. I agree that Santino Fontana would also be an excellent choice. Obviously neither Andy nor Steve are available. Just dreaming. Wishing Moulin Rouge a lot success nonetheless. |

| Oooh yes. Steve Kazee is perfect!! Especially now that he's not doing Pretty Woman. | |

| Satine hasn't "made it" because she's a whore Darlin'. However as a whore she made the big time. | |

| It’s early previews. Can you not see the chemistry growing as they continue to work together or is it the fault of the production itself perhaps! I’m a fan of the two and have my hopes. | |

| No, the chemistry will not grow. Either it's there or it's not. In this case of these two talented actors, it is not. | |

| Karen Olivo seems totally miscast as Satine. Though I'm glad you thought she was good. I was disappointed in her performances in Chess in DC and in Encores' Tick Tick Boom. | |
