| Finally saw PRETTY WOMAN this week. Has anyone seen it lately? There are ensemble members who perform as if they would rather be at home binge-watching "The Umbrella Academy" on Netflix. Samantha Barks is giving it 110% and some of the ensemble are sort of marking and presenting resting b*&ch face. | |

| I saw it in November, and thought Andy Karl, Orfeh and the other principals matched Barks in performance. Overall, not being a fan of the film, the show was well performed but unmemorable. | |

| Very good point. I should have been more clear Andy, Orfeh and other principals were terrific. I had heard from lot of people that Samantha was okayish but I thought that she was quite good. I was referring more to some of the folks in the ensemble/chorus. | |

| That reminds me of when I saw the revival of Chicago not terribly long after it opened still with the opening cast. The only member to deliver was Michael Berresse who was terrific. Everyone else seemed to be walking in a fog. Perhaps this bodes well for Pretty Woman's future success? | |

| Strange, isn't it?Um, hello, you are on Broadway. Maybe you don't like your show but you are working in your chosen profession. Whether or not you dig your show, you can still put it out there for the 2-1/2 hours. And, this was on a Tuesday. They should have been rested and relaxed and rarin' to go. Samantha Barks, on the other hand, was a powerhouse, imo. |
