Fleming starred on Broadway in the nonmusical Living on Love, playing an opera singer. She had previously played it at Williamstown. Her acting seemed like an opera singer who's worked hard to be able to act in a nonmusical. She wasn't painful or embarrassing but she wasn't really good.

Nettie doesn't have have a whole lot of dialogue in Carousel. Probably something she could do successfully.

That's how I felt about Fleming's acting in CAROUSEL, and unfortunately, even her singing in that show was not enjoyable (to me) because of all those silly embellishments that were added. I wonder if those were her idea, or the musical director's? Either way, I DID NOT like them. One of the many wrongheaded decisions in that production, in my opinion.
