and Katie Rose Clarke (whom I didn't feel was up to the part)
My first time seeing the show was the telecast with Katie Clarke. I was disappointed it wasn't O'Hara. But then I saw Clarke on the tour, and felt she had really grown into the role. On the tour, I actually felt that the focus of the story shifted just a bit, from Victoria Clark's Margaret on Broadway, to the lovers on the tour, because Christine Andreas wasn't the powerhouse that Clark was. The Fabrizio at the time was David Burnham, who to me, was the absolute strongest (vocally, at least) of the Fabrizios. (Fabrizi?) He blew me away, in fact.
On the recent reunion interview, Matthew Morrison talked about feeling like he had to prove himself after being known so much as Link in Hairspray. On first hearing the CD, I'd say he did just that. But then hearing both Lazar and Burnham later on, I almost have to wonder why Morrison was cast. (And then, hearing him pop scoop his way through Lt. Cable, I felt even more strongly that "legit" roles really are not his thing.) |
