| I've heard Ms. Foster sing up there, and she has those notes... I saw her do a reading of a new show waaaaaaaaaayyy back in the day. She has all those soprano notes, sure. But there's no way they're gonna ask her to do that 8 times a week. No freaking way. And honestly, do we really want it? I don't. It is rare the true musical theater soprano whose voice is so lovely that I wanna sink back in my chair and just luxuriate. RARE. Today's sopranos, for the most part, sound too 'operatic' for Golden Age musical theater repertoire, and unless you've got something like PORGY or SWEENEY or WEST SIDE happening, the sound really doesn't work. Let's hang out in alto / mezzo land and just be happy. I think we'll ALL be a lot happier at the end of the day. - GMB, who will happily admit that Barbara Cook was indeed one of those rare sopranos. Rest her gorgeous soul. |
